 Why UWB?
► Exceptional multi-path immunity

► Secure Communications

► Low interference

► No need for a license to operate

► Next generation communication system

 Multiband-OFDM

Divides the available UWB frequency

spectrum (3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz) into multiple

smaller and non-overlapping bands with

bandwidths greater than 500 MHz.

 UWB RADARS

The wide bandwidth of UWB signals implies

a fine time resolution that gives them a
potential for high-resolution positioning
applications /Localization and tracking
(LT)/ranging, provided that the multipaths
are dealt with.

 UWB Radars in Medicine

Signal processing is performed through obtaining

the pulses response with the shape and electrical

properties of pulse.
 UWB Radars in Medicine

UWB radar emissions are safe and the UWB

electromagnetic signal is not influenced by
clothes or blankets. 22

Here strongest clutter signal occurs by reflection from a wall and the
weakest expected reflection from a target at the maximal range.
As key functional requirements to the radar we select the separation
of a breathing target from a stationary clutter.

In this application, an approaching car is detected by

using SRR as well as delivery of warning messages by

wireless communication from the approaching car.

 Wireless USB

PC with WUSB adapter WUSB enabled DVD

Under the WiMedia umbrella, industry

incorporated UWB as the technology to
achieve high data rates up to 480 Mbps for
Wireless USB. 32
 Bluetooth

BToUWB is modeled by channeling an existing compliant

Bluetooth

connection’s data over a software implemented UWB Medium

Access Control (MAC) and simulated Physical (PHY) layer radio

channel.

TECHNOLOGIES

35
 CHALLENGES TO UWB
► suspicious about the NB interference

► extreme antenna bandwidth requirements

► very accurate timing synchronization need for correlator -based

receiver

► Complex RAKE-type receiver to cope with significant amount of

energy in the multipath

► filter matching accuracy

► timely approval from the regulatory bodies

► lack of an universal standard
