Preface
The book contains the contribution of 18 tutorials of the 14th
workshop on Advances in Analog Circuit Design. Each part
discusses a specific to-date topic on new and valuable design
ideas in the area of analog circuit design. Each part is presented
by six experts in that field and state of the art information is
shared and overviewed. This book is number 14 in this
successful series of Analog Circuit Design, providing valuable
information and excellent overviews of analog circuit design,
CAD and RF systems. These books can be seen as a reference to
those people involved in analog and mixed signal design.

Abstract
An overview of existing ultrawideband (UWB) technologies is
presented in this paper, including multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM,
scalable for data rates from 55-480Mb/s). Time-domain impulse
radio and wideband FM approaches to UWB for low (<100 kb/s)
and medium data rates (100kb/s-10Mb/s) are also described.
1. Introduction
Ultrawideband (UWB) communication technology is defined as any scheme that
occupies more than 500MHz bandwidth, or where the ratio of channel bandwidth
to centre frequency is larger than 20%. Early UWB system development concen-
trated on imaging radar, which is used for precise location finding and imaging.
The recent interest in UWB communication systems arises from the desire for
high-speed, short-range networking (e.g., to support multimedia applications),
although UWB technology can also be used in low power, low bit-rate applica-
tions. UWB has the potential to support a number of applications more effec-
tively that other short-range wireless alternatives, such as the 802.11 or
Bluetooth systems, as illustrated by the data throughput versus distance curves of
Fig. 1. The IEEE 802.15.3a group has proposed a physical layer standard for IC
development that has led to the development of commercial UWB chipsets by a
number of vendors.
The motivation for wideband transmission can be seen from Shannon’s theorem,
which relates the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and bandwidth (W) of a system to
the channel capacity (C). For low S/N ratios,
C = Wlog (1+S⁄N)≈W(S⁄N) Eq. 1.

Eq. 1 predicts that capacity can be improved by either increasing the effective
signal-to-noise ratio or by increasing the system bandwidth. For conventional
narrowband systems, bandwidth improvements have been realized by decreasing
