Robert Szewczyk will give a talk about Ultrawideband.

 

Title

Ultrawideband (UWB)

 

Abstract

Ultrawideband communications (UWB) have gathered significant interest in recent years: they promise resistance to multipath effects and ultra low transmission power.  At least two IEEE standard groups are using UWB as the physical layer.  In this talk I will discuss what UWB is, what are its advantages and costs, and what its implications are for use in the sensor networks.
