Ul­tra wide band

Ultra wide band (UWB) technology is used for short-range, non-public radio applications with very low transmit powers and a minimum bandwidth of 500 MHz. The use of very high data rates means that the applications are ideal for transmitting large volumes of data over short distances and are used in the home and in vehicles or trains, for example.

Likewise, the very high bandwidth provides a high resolution as is required, for instance, for measurement, location and monitoring purposes in the commercial and industrial sector. On account of the enormous width of the spectrum that can be used for UWB applications, the modern technologies together with their operational and technical parameters need to be standardised to ensure protection for other radiocommunication services.
