Course Description
This well illustrated course provides a gentle introduction to Ultra-wide band (UWB) radio technology that contrasts UWB specific characteristics with conventional narrow band radio characteristics. The treatment focuses on concepts rooted in the historical development of wireless technology. We trace early wide-band wireless on its march to conventional narrow radio, and then to increasing signal bandwidths to take advantage of performance improvements inherent to wide bandwidths. We observe wireless technology mature, and culminate in today’s UWB technology. We will see how UWB signals can coexist with other systems. A simple UWB transmitter will be shown, and system performance will be explained. Finally we will investigate the potential applications space for UWB technology.

Dr. Siwiak has done it again; to make understandable the TIme Domain issues when most all of us are stuck thinking in the Frequency Domain. There is just enough history herein to explain and make practical how all the UWB mystery came about. and enough explanation of how it can me made useful to all creative radio engineers.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Excellent introductory tutorial on UWB, 3.15.2011

This tutorial explains ultra wide band systems to technical enthusiasts outside the field. With clever illustrations and straight forward math the author demystifies time and frequency domain modulation to explain the essential features of UWB signaling. The author also provides a perspective on the role of UWB in the world of communications and leads us through an entertaining history of the evolution of UWB. Recommended!

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 , 3.9.2011

This course is a nice introductory overview to the concept of information transfer using ultra-wide band (UWB) radio signals. It introduces the high-level concepts through a historical progression of radio technology without getting bogged down in the fine mathematical detail of signal processing and communication systems theory. This approach makes the course very accessible to anyone who has studied electrical engineering or radio communications.
