Understanding Ultra Wide Band Radio Fundamentals Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Read this book first if you just begin your research on UWB.
Read this book extensively if you are wondering where you should go in your ongoing UWB research.
Read this book selectively if you don't have enough time to search and read all UWB articles.
Read references of this book if you would like to find more related detailed papers.
Read the Matlab scripts and use (I didnot say copy)in your Matlab programs if you don't want to spend time in those already-proved work.
Use this book as your textbook if you are a professor to share your knowledge as well as that available (My advisor already used this book as a PhD level textbook).
----- I started working on UWB in early 2001. I graduated with my PhD dissertation in UWB transceiver design and system optimization. I studied all UWB related books/papers (at least before 2005). This verifies my qualification to review this book.
You can find several books on UWB. This book (perhaps the other edited from VT) is like a bible for Physical Layer designers. If you have extra money, buy all of them. But I guess this book is the only one you touch everyday.

Combines the theory and practical - with simulation tools for the understanding and design of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication networks. UWB is a revolutionary technology - recently receiving FCC approval. The UWB standard has several advantages including high transmission rates and the ability to carry signals while accounting for solid matter interference. Provides a theoretical analysis of the fundamentals of UWB radio communications supported by practical examples developed using computer simulations using MATLAB. UWB devices can be used for a variety of communications applications involving the transmission of very high data rates over short distances without suffering the effects of multi-path interference. UWB communication devices could be used to wirelessly distribute services such as phone, cable, and computer networking throughout a building or home. These devices could also be utilized by police, fire, and rescue personnel to provide covert, secure communications devices. The book presents the theoretical analysis of fundamental principles of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radio communications supported by practical examples developed using computer simulation. The simulation codes are provided in the form of user-customizable MATLAB) functions which are included in the book. The examples are inserted within the theoretical treatise in order to help and guide the reader in the understanding of analytical principles. The book covers issues related to both UWB signal transmission and UWB network organization. In particular, the topics covered by the book are: principles of UWB radio transmission and modulation (PPM, PAM and DS-UWB for Impulse Radio, OFDM for the multi-band approach), UWB channel modeling, receiver structures, Multi User Interference modeling, Localization, Network organization: advanced Medium Access Control and routing design strategies.
