Ultra WideBand??
Hi.
The name ultra wideband is an extremely general term to describe a particular
technology. Many people feel other names, such as pulse communications, may be
more descriptive and suitable. However, UWB has become the term by which most
people refer to ultra wideband technology.
The question then arises as to how to spell UWB. Is it ‘ultrawideband’, ‘ultrawideband’,
‘ultra wide band’, ‘ultrawide band’, or ‘ultra wideband’? In this text,
quite arbitrarily, we decide to use the term ultra wideband. Our reasoning is that the
term wideband communication has become very common in recent years and is one
that most people are familiar with. To show that UWB uses an even larger bandwidth
the extra large ‘ultra’ is prefixed; however, both ‘ultrawideband’ and ‘ultra-wideband’
seem unwieldy, so we use ultra wideband. Many people may disagree about our choice,
even vehemently.We accept their arguments and suggest that time will show the most
popular choice for UWB.
