This is supposed to be a "gentle Introduction" but it starts using terms in the beginning aht assume a prior knowledge of radio.

094-A Gentle Introduction to Ultra-wide Band (UWB) Radio Technology

Great introduction to "impulse radio", or ultra wide band (UWB). The course covers the historical development of traditional radio and how it drove the necessity for narrow-banding for its survival. One sees how the opposite, ultra wide band, proved to offer greater advantages over narrow band radio. Figures, some formulas and very helpful analogies guide the reader into grasping a basic understanding of this technology. It is amazing to see UWB's features and flexibility.

For some engineers, this could have been more complex, and gone into more detail.

Worst Course
The answer choices to the questions are not the same as the course material (e.g. questions #10 & #11).

Dr. Siwiak has done it again; to make understandable the TIme Domain issues when most all of us are stuck thinking in the Frequency Domain. There is just enough history herein to explain and make practical how all the UWB mystery came about. and enough explanation of how it can me made useful to all creative radio engineers.

Excellent introductory tutorial on UWB

This tutorial explains ultra wide band systems to technical enthusiasts outside the field. With clever illustrations and straight forward math the author demystifies time and frequency domain modulation to explain the essential features of UWB signaling. The author also provides a perspective on the role of UWB in the world of communications and leads us through an entertaining history of the evolution of UWB. Recommended!

This course is a nice introductory overview to the concept of information transfer using ultra-wide band (UWB) radio signals. It introduces the high-level concepts through a historical progression of radio technology without getting bogged down in the fine mathematical detail of signal processing and communication systems theory. This approach makes the course very accessible to anyone who has studied electrical engineering or radio communications.
