Ultra Wideband

Planning of UWB networks

Application

Wireless transmission of multimedia, comfort and safety issues is more and more interesting because of its price and flexibility. Short range wireless radio links, such as UWB are often deployed inside or around vehicles and buildings. Applications are keyless entry systems, tire pressure and rain sensors, cellular coverage inside planes and trains, as well as personal area networks.

Ultra wideband air interfaces are sharing the spectrum with other radio systems. Therefore they rely on an efficient use of their bandwidth while enabling high data rate and short range wireless connectivity (e.g. personal area networks) as well as low data rate applications, such as radar and imaging systems.
 

UWB Network Planning with WinProp

WinProp's UWB network planning module calculates the number of carriers, which can be received taking into account a specified reception threshold. The figure below depicts the number of received carriers, which can be received with a signal level above -90 dBm for an ultra wideband network using 36 carriers.

Figure: Number of received carriers within a building.
