| | A Brief History of Ultra Wideband |
 | | (The term "ultra wideband", which is somewhat of a misnomer, was not applied to these systems until about 1989, apparently by the US Department of Defense). | | | During the period 1960-1999, over 200 papers were published in accredited IEEE journals and more than 100 patents were issued on topics related to ultra wideband technology. | | | The sections on "Transmitter and Receiver for Nonsinusoidal Waves", "Nonsinusoidal Spread Spectrum Radio Transmission", and "Pulse Agility Versus Frequency Agility" are of particular interest since they summarize many of the basic concepts purportedly re-invented several years later. |
