Agenda
An UWB system is defined as any radio system that has a fractional
bandwidth equal to or greater than 0.20 or has bandwidth equal to
or greater than 500 MHz, regardless of the fractional bandwidth

Multipath phenomenon is caused by reflection,
absorption, and scattering of electromagnetic energy by
obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver.
UWB is made of short pulses, that can be manipulated in
time domain so that they can reduce multipath fading.
Robustness against Multipath
Lower frequency, better penetration ability
Center frequency in UWB is relative low, which means a
good penetration ability.
Penetration Ability
In UWB, small amount of energy is spread over wide
bandwidth, consequently UWB has very low power
spectral density compared with other techniques
