Features: This book is the first comprehensive theoretical work on ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication internationally. The main contents include: Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), Direct Sequence Ultra-Wideband (DS-UWB), and Multi-Band Ultra-Wideband (MB-UWB); the generation of time-hopping, direct sequence, and multi-band UWB signals and their power spectral densities; performance analysis and link budgeting of UWB communication systems; pulse shaping for UWB impulse radio; UWB channel models and receiver techniques; UWB ranging and positioning; MAC design for UWB networks, etc. The book also introduces the relevant standardization efforts in UWB wireless communication. It is written in an accessible yet rigorous manner, emphasizing both academic depth and practical application. It includes rigorous mathematical analysis, numerous simulation experiments, detailed examples, and extensive MATLAB programs for readers to verify through simulations. This book can serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as an excellent reference for engineers and researchers studying UWB wireless communication.
