Abstract :
Summary form only given. The tutorial is split into 2 components: broadband theory/technology/systems and radar-communication interaction. For the broadband component, we will discuss the underlying theory, component technology, and some systems, with a focus on the two ultrawideband (UWB) application areas (radar and communication systems) in light of recent interest in UWB systems over the last two decades. In that time, more than 15 nonmilitary UWB radars have been designed and fielded, which include applications to forestry, detecting underground utilities, automotive control, and humanitarian demining. More recently, UWB communication has surged to the forefront.
