TLDR
In this article, two UWB multiband systems, frequency hopping and Spectral Keying, have been described, both of which meet the stringent requirements provided by IEEE 802.15.3a.
Abstract
The recent FCC frequency allocation for UWB has generated a lot of interest in UWB technologies. There is 7,500 MHz of spectrum for unlicensed use. The main limitations are provided by the low-power spectral density and by the fact that the transmit signal must occupy at least 500 MHz at whole times. IEEE 802.15.3a is being developed for high-bit-rate PAN applications, and UWB is the most promising technology to support the stringent requirements: 110, 200, and 480 Mb/s. Two UWB multiband systems, frequency hopping and Spectral Keying, have been described in this article. Both systems meet the stringent requirements provided by IEEE 802.15.

Analysis of UWB transmitted-reference communication systems in dense multipath channels

TL;DR: An analytical framework based on the sampling expansion approach is developed that derives closed-form expression for the bit-error probability (BEP) of TR signaling with AcR that can be used to exploit multipath diversity inherent in wideband channels.

Planar miniature tapered-slot-fed annular slot antennas for ultrawide-band radios

Abstract: A novel planar tapered-slot-fed annular slot antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna utilizes a unique tapered-slot feeding structure and simultaneously possesses ultrawide bandwidth, almost uniform radiation patterns, and low profile. It is, hence, adequate for ultrawide-band (UWB) applications. By means of a normalized antenna transfer function, both frequency domain and time domain characteristics of the antenna are carefully investigated. Two measures, the uniformity related to the radiation patterns and the fidelity associated with the transient behaviors, are used to quantitatively describe the performance of an antenna over such an ultrawide bandwidth. Effects of varying the antenna's geometric parameters on the performance are then investigated. Finally, the influence of minimizing the antenna dimension is discussed at the end of the paper.
