Introduction to Ultra Wideband Com 1:a utgåva

Introduction to Ultra Wide Band Communication Systems offers a comprehensive view of UWB system design, that spans propagation, antennas, receive and transmitter implementations, standards and regulations, interference issues, simulation techniques, modulation and multiple access, network issues, and applications. This book encompasses all areas of design and implementation of UWB systems crucial to their successful testing and deployment. UWB offers unique capabilities, such as extremely high data rates, and building partitions and ground penetrating transmission. The FCC acknowledged the benefits of UWB when, in 2001, regulations were modified to allow the transmission of UWB signals. The standardization effort has recently come to fruition with the creation of a new, regulated communication standard. However, a new standard brings along with it new regulations and equipment; and the design of UWB systems is very different than traditional communication systems. The current general reference books for design of communication systems are insufficient, and in some cases could be misleading to a UWB designer. Furthermore, there is a tremendous need to unify the diverse concepts and fields of study embedded in the design of UWB systems.
