Time-Domain Electromagnetics and Its Applications
Invited Paper -- C. Leonard Bennett and Gerald F. Ross, Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 66, No. 3, March 1978, pp. 299-318

The above IEEE Proceedings article by Bennett and Ross is the fundamental paper on ultra wideband (UWB) technology development from the early 1960's through 1978. The authors discuss the origins of time domain electromagnetics (now commonly referred to as UWB), and present numerous examples of the early use of UWB technology in radar and communications applications - automobile and harbor collision avoidance, spacecraft docking, airport surface-traffic control, auto braking, ship docking, liquid level sensing, and wireless communications.
