The group is cited for completing two significant radio research projects in an extraordinarily short time and developing policy, rules and regulations for ultrawideband (UWB) systems. One project characterized UWB signals and provided the first accurate measurements as well as detailed procedures for others. The second project assessed the effects of various UWB signals on Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and other Federal systems. This work is the cornerstone of national spectrum policy for UWB systems, the greatest challenge to radio spectrum sharing in many decades.
