Ultra Wideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineering Book

Historically, UWB systems were developed mainly as a military tool because they could "see through" trees and beneath ground surfaces.  However, recently UWB technology has been focused on consumer electronics and communications. Unique features of UWB systems are low power, low cost, high data rates, precise positioning capability and extremely low interference. Although UWB systems are years away from being ubiquitous, the technology is changing the wireless industry today. UWB technology is different from conventional narrowband wireless transmission technology - instead of broadcasting on separate frequencies, UWB spreads signals across a very wide range of frequencies.  Trains of pulses replace the typical sinusoidal radio wave at hundreds of millions of pulses per second.  The wide bandwidth and very low power makes UWB transmissions appear as background noise. Ultra-Wideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineering: Comprehensively covers the globally hot topic of UWB Provides in-depth coverage of UWB technologies starting with the foundations and arriving at the detailed usage of the technology involved Features exercises and problems at the end of each chapter to aid understanding   Ultrawideband (UWB) is emerging as a technology ready for commercialisation and is becoming increasingly attractive for low-cost consumer communications applications.  In spite of the increased interest in UWB systems, a book directly related to UWB signals and systems is missing from the market. Ultra-Wideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineering fills this gap and covers the fundamentals aspects of this exciting area. Anyone involved in communications, from students and managers through to engineers and researchers, can’t afford not to read this book!Read More
