Ultra Wideband (UWB) is the hot new topic in wireless communication engineering today. High-speed communication over short distances using sub-nanosecond pulses, rather than conventional sinusoidal waves, has paved the way for cheap wireless transceivers, capturing the imagination of both academics and engineers in industry alike. Ultra Wideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineering focuses on the basic signal processing that underlies current and future ultra wideband systems ensuring this text will be essential reading even as UWB applications mature and change or regulations regarding ultra wideband systems are modified. Provides everything you need to know about Ultra Wideband Communications in one compact volume Explains, in an easy to understand manner, the basics of UWB and its applications Covers, in detail, the generation of UWB waveforms through to the position and location of UWB signals Discusses the issues that must be solved for UWB devices to explode onto the consumer communication market Includes examples and problems in each chapter to aid understanding Features a companion website including Solutions manual, Matlab programs, Electronic versions of the figures and a sample chapter This enlightening text is a must for senior undergraduates and postgraduate students interested in studying UWB, and the emphasis on UWB development for commercial consumer communications products means that any communication engineer or manager cannot afford to be without it!

The thoroughly revised and updated second edition of Ultra Wideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineering features new standards, developments and applications. It addresses not only recent developments in UWB communication systems, but also related IEEE standards such as IEEE 802.15 wireless personal area network (WPAN). Examples and problems are included in each chapter to aid understanding. Enhanced with new chapters and several sections including Standardization, advanced topics in UWB Communications and more applications, this book is essential reading for senior undergraduates and postgraduate students interested in studying UWB. The emphasis on UWB development for commercial consumer communications products means that any communication engineer or manager cannot afford to be without it! New material included in the second edition: Two new chapters covering new regulatory issues for UWB systems and new systems such as ad-hoc and sensor networks, MAC protocols and space-time coding for UWB systems IEEE proposals for channel models and their specifications Interference and coexistence of UWB with other systems UWB antennas and arrays, and new types of antennas for UWB systems such as printed bow-tie antennas Coverage of new companies working on UWB such as Artimi and UBISense UWB potential for use in medicine, including cardiology, respiratory medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, emergency room and acute care, assistance for disabled people, and throat and vocals Companion website features a solutions manual, Matlab programs and electronic versions of all figures.
