What applications will benefit from UWB?
There are three overlapping target segments that could benefit from short-range wireless connections enabled by UWB: PC and peripheral devices, mobile devices, and consumer electronics. Many devices in each of these three segments frequently communicate significant amounts of data over very short distances with other complementary devices, usually by means of an interconnect cable. For example, a digital still camera, with a large storage capacity, typically requires a high-speed serial connection to the PC to transfer images. At the time of transfer, the distance between the PC and the camera is typically a few meters at most. UWB allows us to create a wireless link by enabling the necessary data rates in a radio suitable for cost-sensitive, battery-powered mobile devices, like a camera or PDA. Similar examples are smart phones, home entertainment centers, printers, handheld computers, camcorders, video projectors, and MP3 players. By eliminating the need for a physical cable connecti
