Description
The thoroughly revised and updated second edition of UltraWideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineeringfeatures new standards, developments and applications. It addressesnot only recent developments in UWB communication systems, but alsorelated IEEE standards such as IEEE 802.15 wireless personal areanetwork (WPAN). Examples and problems are included in eachchapter to aid understanding.
Enhanced with new chapters and several sections includingStandardization, advanced topics in UWB Communications and moreapplications, this book is essential reading for seniorundergraduates and postgraduate students interested in studyingUWB. The emphasis on UWB development for commercial consumercommunications products means that any communication engineer ormanager cannot afford to be without it!
New material included in the second edition:
* Two new chapters covering new regulatory issues for UWB systemsand new systems such as ad-hoc and sensor networks, MAC protocolsand space-time coding for UWB systems
* IEEE proposals for channel models and their specifications
* Interference and coexistence of UWB with other systems
* UWB antennas and arrays, and new types of antennas for UWBsystems such as printed bow-tie antennas
* Coverage of new companies working on UWB such as Artimi andUBISense
* UWB potential for use in medicine, including cardiology,respiratory medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, emergency roomand acute care, assistance for disabled people, and throat andvocals
Companion website features a solutions manual, Matlab programsand electronic versions of all figures.
