A
Brief History of UWB Signals
How does UWB Work?
It works by sending pulses across a
very wide spectrum of frequencies several GHz in bandwidth. The
corresponding receiver then translates the pulses into data by listening
for a familiar pulse sequence sent by the transmitter.
UWB's combination of broader spectrum
and lower power improves speed and reduces interference with other
wireless spectra. In the United States, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has mandated that UWB radio transmissions can legally
operate in the range from 3.1 GHz up to 10.6 GHz, at a limited transmit
power of -41dBm/MHz. Consequently
