**Performances for Tactical Commands** 

Ultra-wideband radio technology (UWB-RT) inherited a potential of extremely high rate of data communications, Claude Shannon discovered this in 1948 and derived the later-calledas Shannon-Hartley's channel capacity laws. This famous theoretical law however was not able to substantiate in practice until the development of the sampling oscilloscope by Hewlett-Packard in 1962, which, in accordance with the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, was then capable to reconstruct at-that-time rather large UWB signals (Wilson,

UWB-RT, thus far, has been around for half a centuries but most research confined only in military applications and systems. The release of the 7.5 GHz of unlicensed spectrum by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC, 2002) for commercial usages and applications in 2002 sparked a renewed interest in R&D of UWB-RT in industries, universities and governments. Today "ultra-wideband" usually refers UWB-RT where the

UWB-RT and systems are becoming important not only to communications due to its high transmission capacity and speeds, but also gained strong foothold in many applications in the areas of industries, health monitoring, law-enforcement, defense and public security,

Today, UWB-RT is not limited to carrier-free signaling but modulated in both analogue and digital domains typically in collision avoidance, medical imaging, security imaging

electronic systems should be able to coexist with other electronic users (FCC, 2004).
