Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have had a transforma-
tive impact on society and have directly contributed to several economic and social
aspects of daily life. Increasingly, the untethered exchange of information between
devices is becoming a prime requirement for further progress, which is placing an
ever greater demand on wireless bandwidth. The ultra wideband (UWB) system
marks a major milestone in this progress. Since 2002, when the FCC allowed the
unlicensed use of low-power, UWB radio signals in the 3.1–10.6GHz frequency
band, there has been significant synergistic advance in this technology at the cir-
cuits, architectural and communication systems levels. This technology allows for
devices to communicate wirelessly, while coexisting with other users by ensuring
that its power density is sufficiently low so that it is perceived as noise to other
users.
