Abstract
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has received great attention in recent short-range communication systems and been considered one of the potential candidates for upcoming IEEE 802.15.6 body area network (BAN) standard. High penetration capability and high precision ranging with a wide bandwidth of up to 7.5GHz (from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz) make it easy to image the organs of human body for biomedical applications. In addition, low electromagnetic radiation less than −41.3dBm/MHz is safe for human tissue exposure and makes it suitable for hospital and home applications. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art UWB systems and addresses IC design challenges for WBAN and biomedical applications.
