Large bandwidth available, the potential for high-speed data, and the promise for small size and low processing power with reduced implementation cost all present a unique opportunity for UWB to become widely used radio solutions for the future of home networking technology wireless. Ultra-Wideband Communications Systems is the first book that provides comprehensive coverage of basic and advanced issues related to UWB technology, with particular focus on multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (multiband OFDM). Additional coverage includes: * Characteristics of UWB channels * Overview of UWB single-band and multiband OFDM approach * MIMO Multiband OFDM * Performance characterization * Performance under practical considerations * Differential Multiband OFDM * Power-controlled channel allocation * Cooperative UWB Multiband OFDM Complete with pointers for future research opportunities to improve the performance of UWB multiband OFDM technology over current wireless networks and the future, this is an indispensable resource for graduate students, engineers, and academic and industrial researchers involved with UWB.
