Why We Use Wideband?

Wideband communication allows for a higher bandwidth and therefore for a faster communication. Wideband communication allows for spreading the signal to encrypt it (See: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum and its derivates) wideband communication allows for notching out narrow noise sources in the spectrum (See OFDM)

What is narrowband used for?

Narrowband radio channels are typically used for shorter-range, fixed-location wireless applications, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) and commercial vehicle remote keyless entry (RKE) devices.

What are wideband applications?

Ultra-wideband (UWB, ultra wideband, ultra-wide band and ultraband) is a radio technology that can use a very low energy level for short-range, high-bandwidth communications over a large portion of the radio spectrum. UWB has traditional applications in non-cooperative radar imaging.
