Sommario/riassunto

Ultrawideband (UWB) technology, positioned as the cutting edge of research and development, paves the way to meet the emerging demands set by broadband wireless applications, such as high-speed data transmission, medical imaging, short-range radars, electromagnetic testing, etc. This breathtaking resource builds upon the basics of UWB technology to provide a complete compilation of figures of merit along with a vital state-of-the-art of the different antenna alternatives that are to be employed according to the specific application. Without excessive recourse to mathematics, this volume emphas
