The (ICUWB 2013) will be held in Sydney, Australia on 15-18 September 2013. This Conference provides a forum for the latest UWB systems, technologies, and applications in both microwave and millimeter wave bands. ICUWB 2013 is a continuation of a series of annual internatinal UWB conferences held in Syracuse-NY, Baltimore, Reston-VA, Oulu, Kyoto, Zürich, Waltham, Singapore, Hannover, Vancouver, Nanjing, and Bologna, from 2002 to 2012. This event is cosponsored by CSIRO, Macquarie University, Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT), and NSW Trade & Investment.

ICUWB 2013 welcomes previously unpublished original research and development related to ultra wide band technologies, systems and networks. All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE and included in IEEEXplore. The manuscript template and complete information about the electronic paper submission process can be found at www.ICUWB2013.org.
