Ultra-wideband Radio Technology

Description:

Ultra-wideband (UWB) has been among the most controversial technologies of modern times. Its applications seem endless, its capabilities miraculous and yet it is so poorly understood. In this volume, the authors combine talents to de-mystify ultra-wideband radio and explain it in language that is accessible to non-technologists as well as technologists. They contrast UWB with conventional radio technology so that fundamental, technically accurate information devoid of specific technical and analytical details is accessible for marketing managers, business developers, engineering managers, technology managers, potential investors, financial analysts, executive recruiters, technical writers, and technologists from other fields. The authors also include enough specific technical and engineering information about UWB, for the seasoned technologists, engineers, scientists and academicians who need to understand the topic at an entry level.

• Provides simple high level, conceptual discussions of UWB followed with more detailed, scientific, mathematical, engineering focused explanations
• Presents a global perspective by tracing UWB throughout the history of radio, providing a modern basis for the re-emergence of the technology and for the current regulatory and standards activities
• Features insights into the reasons why the technology developed the way it did
• Explains the key advantages of UWB, including its bandwidth, potential simplicity and huge system capacity
• Discusses the applications of UWB in terms of the unique properties and advantages of UWB

Ultra-wideband Radio Technology will inform, educate and inspire!...

描述：
超寬頻（UWB）是現代最具爭議性的技術之一。它的應用似乎無窮無盡，能力神奇，但卻被理解得如此不足。在這本書中，作者們結合才華，將超寬頻無線電解密，並以非技術人士和技術人士都能理解的語言來解釋。他們將UWB與傳統無線電技術進行對比，以便為市場經理、業務開發人員、工程經理、技術經理、潛在投資者、財務分析師、高管招聘人員、技術作家和其他領域的技術人員提供基本的、技術上準確的信息，而不涉及具體的技術和分析細節。作者還提供了足夠的關於UWB的具體技術和工程信息，以便於需要以入門級水平了解該主題的經驗豐富的技術人員、工程師、科學家和學者。

《超寬頻無線電技術》將提供信息、教育和啟發！...
