What is Ultra Wideband?
Ultra wideband technologies are simply technologies that make use of a very large amount of bandwidth, usually exceeding speeds of 100 Megabits per second (Mbit/s). Ultra wideband usually refers to a form of wireless technology, but it may also be used to discuss wired or cabled forms of large-bandwidth communication. Ultra wideband technology uses extremely short-duration pulses, lasting from a few trillionths of a second to a few billionths of a second each. The resulting wave has a very broad band, and can be used to transmit immense amounts of information over short distances. Because ultra wideband tends to shorter distances, and because of the affordable large bandwidth, ultra wideband is mostly being considered for applications such as digital video cameras, printers, and device-to-device transfer between items like portable music players and cellular telephones. Many people are investigating the potential for ultra broadband to make truly synched devices a reality, with cell ph
