Roger Kaul, Johns Hopkins University Gregory Lyons, MIT Lincoln Laboratory Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is entering the US marketplace in several forms following FCC regulatory approval in February 2002. The low power spectral density and multiple GHz of bandwidth have enabled a variety of applications including high-data-rate shortrange communications, high-range-resolution short-range radars, and accurate location schemes. Several speakers from industry will begin the session with presentations on the development, implementation, and arrival into the marketplace of these UWB applications. The second half of the session will be open for questions from the audience.
