Applications of UWB Technology

Recent advances in wideband impulse technology, low power communication along with unlicensed band have enabled ultra wide band (UWB) as a leading technology for future wireless applications. This paper outlines the applications of emerging UWB technology in a private and commercial sector. We further talk about UWB technology for a wireless body area network (WBAN).
