   performance of existing and future systems, regulatory issues, as well
   as novel applications and implementations of UWB technology.


   Papers are sought in the following areas                   
     Channel measurement and modelling
     Modulation and detection
     Interference and capacity
     Regulatory issues
     Positioning services
