Ultra-wideband (UWB): Technology, Applications, and Solutions 2009/
|
Abstract
Overview
Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications is fundamentally different from all other
communication techniques because it employs extremely narrow RF pulses to
communicate between transmitters and receivers. Utilizing short-duration
pulses as the building blocks for communications directly generates a very
wide bandwidth and offers several advantages, such as large throughput,
covertness, robustness to jamming, and coexistence with current radio
services. Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology offers a promising solution to the
RF spectrum drought by allowing new services to coexist with current radio
systems with minimal or no interference. This coexistence brings the advantage
of avoiding the expensive spectrum licensing fees that providers of all other
radio services must pay.
Ultra-wideband (UWB): Technology, Applications, and Solutions 2009 evaluates
various aspects of UWB starting with UWB technology basics and also focusing
on the advanced concepts of UWB including design issues and bottlenecks. The
report also evaluates products and some key players of the UWB arena, current
developments, and product potential including: cable TV, asset management,
radar and imaging, surveillance systems, and medical applications. The report
also analyzes the future possibilities of UWB and potential pitfalls taking
into account some important case studies and recent deployments all around the
world. A future roadmap is also presented in this report with special emphasis
based on the developing and developed countries. The future of the technology
is also presented in the research and thus can be very useful to evaluate the
technology and understand the key findings and shortcomings of the technology
giving special focus and comparisons with PAN.
In the first part of the report there are some important investigations
related to cost estimations and also the business aspects of UWB. This will
give the user a clear understanding regarding the current status of UWB with a
focus on the technology management issues for deployment and the shortcomings
the current technology is unable to address.
