[Discuss-gnuradio] Ultrawideband

[address@hidden]

there is a /. article about UWB:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/02/1440216

a quote from an EDN article:
The transmitter technology, UWB (ultrawideband), is based on a series
of narrow, precisely timed pulses that generate a spectral bandwidth
sometimes exceeding 5 GHz while producing insignificant interference
within any specific frequency band. You can use UWB in radarlike
applications to "see" through walls or measure precise distances and
for short-range, high-bandwidth, wireless communication.

I wonder what devices could be used by GNU Radio to transmit and
receive UWB? Is it getting more expensive or less expensive than a
device for 2.4Ghz or is it not possible to get or build a device for
UWB?
