Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a wireless technology for transmitting digital data at very high rates over a wide spectrum of frequency bands using very low power. UWB is ideally suited for wireless communications, particularly short-range and high-speed data transmissions for local area network applications. According to a June 2002 research report by In-Stat/MDR, wireless home networking will be the key to adoption of Ultra Wideband in the marketplace, with UWB dominating home networking by 2006.

Texas Instruments is an active participant in the collection of companies, government officials and individuals working to define and develop UWB technology.

In the Press

Texas Instruments Lobbies for OFDM Approach to UWB
Semiconductor Business News reports on Texas Instruments´ OFDM-based UWB proposal. TI´s multi-band OFDM approach to UWB is the next step in the evolution of UWB: it is low cost and low power, fits consumer needs, and is an efficient, buildable solution that enables fast time-to-market for OEMs.

UWB Standards Shakeout
Unstrung.com analyzes the current landscape of the IEEE standards proposals for UWB. TI advocates initially using the low-end spectrum, between 3.1 GHz and 4.8 GHz, and then eventually moving into the higher frequency bands.
