Performance Assessment of UWB-Over-Fiber and Applications

Since 2002, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the use of ultra-wideband (UWB) signal transmissions for unlicensed use, in the range from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, leading to a revived interest in research activities and to new opportunities for companies to explore and develop new broadband indoor and outdoor applications [1]. Moreover, UWB is seen as a promising technology for short range high speed wireless networks.
