Cognitive radio functionality supports spectrum avoidance requirements

Realtek Semiconductor Corp. has demonstrated a cognitive radio functionality for UWB using its RTU7010 combined single-chip radio and base band processor, currently in mass production.

This cognitive radio functionality complies with the spectrum avoidance requirements that will apply in several worldwide regulatory domains beginning in 2009, and that are directed at ensuring satisfactory coexistence of UWB devices with other wireless services.
