Wireless Data Blaster
( Scientific American 2002 )
Radio's oldest technology is providing a new way for portable electronics to transmit large quantities of data rapidly without wires...
There are still some among us who can remember, before 1920, when "spark was king." With help from semiconductors and the Internet, spark-gap radio's latter-day offspring--UWB technology--may soon emerge as a major wireless building block for advanced high-speed data communications.
The Ultra Wideband Working Group has been established as an unofficial association of industry leaders and scholars with interest in UWB technology, as well as issues related to commercialization.

Ultra Wideband (UWB) systems transmit signals across a much wider frequency than conventional systems and are usually very difficult to detect. The amount of spectrum occupied by a UWB signal, i.e. the bandwidth of the UWB signal is at least 25% of the center frequency. Thus, a UWB signal centered at 2 GHz would have a minimum bandwidth of 500 MHz and the minimum bandwidth of a UWB signal centered at 4 GHz would be 1 GHz. The most common technique for generating a UWB signal is to transmit pulses with durations less than 1 nanosecond.
Later this year, the Federal Communications Commission will decide whether to give the green light to so-called ultra-wideband transmission. If approved, UWB could have a dramatic impact on short-range wireless communications for the enterprise.
The Center for Ultra-Wideband Research and Engineering develops knowledge, facilities, and expertise in the field of Ultra Wideband Impulse Radio technologies. By establishing relationships with key industry and educational players, CURE expands its knowledge base, infuses information regarding Ultra Wideband Impulse Radio technologies into the University educational system, and disseminates research results to the scientific community. CURE serves as a repository for the knowledge base and integrates developed technology into cutting-edge solutions.
