Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) wireless is a rapidly growing technology that promises to revolutionize low power, short-range wireless applications. UWB radios present a variety of specialized test demands. Wide signal bandwidths, short duration pulses and low transmit Power Spectral Densities make UWB testing difficult. However, advanced test instruments and dedicated measurement software now offer solid solutions to UWB test challenges. This article discusses how wireless engineers can maximize the advantages of UWB technologies while overcoming test complexities.
