• UWB is a revolutionary technology - recently receiving FCC approval.
• The UWB standard has several advantages including high transmission rates and the ability to carry signals while accounting for solid matter interference.
• Provides a theoretical analysis of the fundamentals of UWB radio communications supported by practical examples developed using computer simulations using MATLAB.

The book draws on a wealth of primary evidence, including fifty-seven interviews with people who have been central to the NPR...

It is difficult to imagine a subject with more elusive data than this. The source and location of clandestine radio broadcasts are, by definition, secret. White' stations openly identify themselves (such as Radio Free Europe), and gray' stations are purportedly operated by dissident groups within a country, although actually they might be located in another nation; but black' stations transmit broadcasts by one side disguised as broadcasts by another. . . . This] is an extraordinary book. It belongs in every research library concerned with war and revolution and international...
