Ultra-wideband technology opening new eyes

WASHINGTON -- Thought only cartoon superheroes could see through walls to
detect the villains?

New technology called ultra-wideband will soon allow mere mortals to detect
objects buried underground and to build cars enhanced with sensors that
help avoid collisions.

Ultra-wideband uses millions of narrow pulses each second to get an
accurate reading of location and distance, opening the door for new
applications in radar tracking, precise positioning and wireless
communications.

The possibilities vary from short-range computer networking for homes to
devices that determine the location of golfers on a course.
