The wireless wideband communication is rapidly attracting more attention due to the need of more users and more information with higher data rates. Ultra wideband (UWB) technology based on the ultra-narrow pulses in nanosecond or picosecond level, featuring a very wide bandwidth in the frequency domain, could be able to provide such service. This course will focus on the development of the UWB technology, the current UWB technology, and its potential applications. Basic implementation methods of the UWB transmitter, receiver, and how this technology can be realized without causing interference to the other coexist narrowband wireless technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. are also discussed. How the UWB technology can be used to realize accurate positioning service is another important topic.

Examination
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Write a technical paper and have it published in an international conference.
Other requirements for final grade
An oral presentation and an international published (accepted) technical paper.
