Ultra Wide Band Radar -- UWB -- Pulse Radar Page

UWB radar promises to be an astonishingly useful technology for broadcasting information without using traditional methods which are confined to specific frequencies. Instead, UWB devices transmit millions of pulses of coded energy timed at very specific intervals - 10 picoseconds (trillionths of a second). Receiving devices correlate the difference of the timing of the signals as specific bits of data - similar to how modern computers work.
Uses include small, very small, hand-held radar units, wrist-watch cell-phones and amazingly accurate positioning devices. Current GPS receivers are accurate to within 3 to 5 feet. UWB devices, worn on the wrist, could locate objects within inches.
Watch this space for additional information in the very near future.
