3 What is Ultra Wideband? Developed as outcome of time-domain electromagnetics work Ross (1962) Originally referred to as baseband, carrier-free, or impulse Earliest applications in high resolution radar Large fractional bandwidth waveforms Typically a few cycles of an RF carrier Numerous techniques for UWB waveform generation Direct impulse excitation of antenna Spectrally filtered approaches Direct Impulse UWB Spectrally Filtered UWB 0 Hz 3 GHz 1 GHz 2 GHz EuroEM 2000_Applications-3

4 Ultra Wideband Advantages Extremely difficult to intercept Short pulse excitation generates wideband spectra low energy densities Low energy density also minimizes interference to other services Multipath immunity Time-gated detector can excise delayed returns time separation Commonality of signal generation and processing architectures Communications LPI/D, High Data Rates, Multipath Tolerance Radar Inherent high precision sub-centimeter ranging Wideband excitation for detection of complex, low RCS targets Geolocation/Positioning Sub-centimeter resolution using pulse leading edge detection Low Cost Nearly all-digital architecture ideal for microminiaturization into a chipset Frequency diversity with minimal hardware modifications EuroEM 2000_Applications-4
