Brunel University Lecture Centre, Uxbridge

Light refreshments available from 19:00-19:30

The transmission of pulses has provided a means of radio
communications since Hertz’s spark gap experiment in 1893.
The recent upsurge in ultra wideband (UWB) wireless research
has brought about a renaissance of impulse radio and other
wideband signalling schemes. New signal processing methods
and components have enabled sophisticated signal design.

The technology ‘boom’ of the 1990’s opened up new market
potential and applications for UWB, with new design challenges
in terms of system architecture, signal generation and detection,
etc. plus new applications requiring unprecedented data rates.
Additionally, it has transformed spectrum management where
UWB users are required to co-exist with other spectrum users.
Whilst the main focus of this talk is to introduce UWB signals
and communication systems and to discuss new challenges and
opportunities presented by these systems.

If you want to know more, come along. All are welcome and no ticket
is required. Simply turn up on the night. For more details please
