Wireless communication is hampered by fluctuations of the wireless channel over time, frequency, and space. Channels of ultra-wide bandwidth are especially challenging to communicate over as the received power per hertz is typically very low, so that channel estimation becomes difficult. The present work takes a comprehensive look at ultrawideband channels: Their characteristics are analyzed on the basis of channel measurements, and a statistical model is developed that captures the fundamental channel characteristics. An information-theoretic analysis yields upper and lower bounds on the rates achievable when communicating over such ultrawideband channels under realistic constraints, like imperfect channel knowledge at the receiver and peak limited transmit signals.

Ulrich G. Schuster studied electrical engineering at Aachen University of Technology, Aachen, Germany, and at the University of California at Berkeley, U.S.A., where he received the M.S. degree in 2003. After graduating from Berkeley, he joined the Communication Technology Laboratory at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, as a research and teaching assistant. Mr. Schuster was a visiting researcher at the Centre for Wireless Communications at the University of Oulu, Finland, in 2004 and at Princeton University in 2006.
