This research proposal investigates enabling ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies for low rate wireless personal area networks (WPAN). Recently, UWB has been proposed in the IEEE 802.15.4a Working Group as a physical layer candidate for low rate, short range wireless networks. In the low rate application domain, UWB can easily achieve a transmission speed much higher than that of Bluetooth due to its large bandwidth. The primary features of UWB include low cost, long battery life, multipath immunity and the ability to have communications and simultaneous precision ranging capabilities. Overlaying with the frequency bands of existing radio systems, UWB allows more efficient use of the scarce spectrum resource. The intended applications include smart home and personalized services, consumer electronics, family communications/supervision of children, industrial and building automation, tracking and logistics, asset tagging and management, search and rescue, security, medical applications, and military applications, etc.

该研究提案调查了低速率无线个域网 (WPAN) 的超宽带 (UWB) 技术。最近，IEEE 802.15.4a 工作组提议将 UWB 作为低速率、短距离无线网络的物理层候选方案。 在低速率应用领域，UWB由于其带宽大，可以轻松实现远高于蓝牙的传输速度。 UWB 的主要特点包括低成本、长电池寿命、多路径抗扰性以及具有通信和同时精确测距功能的能力。 UWB 与现有无线电系统的频段重叠，可以更有效地利用稀缺的频谱资源。预期应用包括智能家居和个性化服务、消费电子、家庭通信/儿童监护、工业和楼宇自动化、跟踪和物流、资产标签和管理、搜索和救援、安全、医疗应用和军事应用等。
