Ultra-wide-band (UWB) technology combined with multiple transmit and receive antennas (MIMO) is a viable way to achieve data rates of more than 1 Gb/s for wireless communications. UWB is typically applied to short-range and therefore mainly indoor communications in environments characterized usually...
