Abstract: Some important aspects about UWB such as its principles, characteristics, and key techniques were introduced, and current research achievements were also analyzed and summarized.In addition, its benefits, limitations, and technical challenges for UWB systems were discussed. As a new wireless transmission technology, UWB has many obvious advantages, for example simple transmission structure and high spectral efficiency. But it also has some unsolved problems such as pulse signal generation, signal modulation, receive signal detection and so on. Moreover, the constitution of corresponding physical protocol and network protocol has still been main obstacle to the commercial realization of USB.On the basis of our analysis to the existing problems, the important challenges and development direction for UWB technology were proposed.

Key words: ultra-wideband, pulse position modulation (PPM), pulse amplitude modulation(PAM), random time-hopping, multistage frequency-hopping, direct sequence spreading, gaussian pulse, rake receiver
