The thoroughly revised and updated second edition of Ultra Wideband Signals and Systems in Communication Engineering features new standards, developments and applications. It addresses not only recent developments in UWB communication systems, but also related IEEE standards such as IEEE 802.15 wireless personal area network (WPAN).  Examples and problems are included in each chapter to aid understanding. Enhanced with new chapters and several sections including Standardization, advanced topics in UWB Communications and more applications, this book is essential reading for senior undergraduates and postgraduate students interested in studying UWB.  The emphasis on UWB development for commercial consumer communications products means that any communication engineer or manager cannot afford to be without it!New material included in the second edition: Two new chapters covering new regulatory issues for UWB systems and new systems such as ad-hoc and sensor networks, MAC protocols and space-time coding for UWB systemsIEEE proposals for channel models and their specificationsInterference and coexistence of UWB with other systemsUWB antennas and arrays, and new types of antennas for UWB systems such as printed bow-tie antennasCoverage of new companies working on UWB such as Artimi and UBISenseUWB potential for use in medicine, including cardiology, respiratory medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, emergency room and acute care, assistance for disabled people, and throat and vocalsCompanion website features a solutions manual, Matlab programs and electronic versions of all figures.

In the last fifty years, extensive studies have been carried out worldwide in the field of adaptive array systems. However, far from being a mature technology with little research left to tackle, there is seemingly unlimited scope to develop the fundamental characteristics and applications of adaptive antennas for future 3G and 4G mobile communications systems, ultra wideband wireless and satellite and navigation systems, and this informative text shows you how! Provides an accessible resource on adaptive array fundamentals as well as coverage of adaptive algorithms and advanced topicsAnalyses the performance of various wideband beamforming techniques in wideband array processingComprehensively covers implementation issues related to such elements as circular arrays, channel modelling and transmit beam forming, highlighting the challenges facing a designer during the development phaseSupports practical implementation considerations with detailed case studies on wideband arrays, radar, sonar and biomedical imaging, terrestrial wireless systems and satellite communication systemsIncludes examples and problems throughout to aid understandingCompanion website features Solutions Manual, Matlab Programs and Electronic versions of some figuresAdaptive Array Systems is essential reading for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the field of adaptive array systems. It will also have instant appeal to engineers and designers in industry engaged in developing and deploying the technology. This volume will also be invaluable to those working in radar, sonar and bio-medical applications.
