Abstract :
This paper outlines the role of ultrawideband (UWB) technology in the core of personal networks. An overview of existing UWB technologies is given, and two promising candidates for low data rate (1-100 kb/s) and medium data rate (100 kb/s-10 Mb/s) are treated in more detail: a time domain impulse radio approach and a novel constant envelope FM approach - UWBFM. Finally, examples of circuit implementations for impulse radio are presented.
