UWB Regulation Status
USA is the first country that allowed the UWB spectrum from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz at a maximum PSD of -41.3 dBm/MHz in 2002.
While following to the USAs UWB regulations, other countries assigned smaller UWB spectrum and impelled various restrictions to mitigate interference into existing wireless systems. Although UWB regulations were already published in EU, Japan, Korea, etc., update or modification are still in process.

Discussion on UWB Band Usage
Except USA, UWB low band is not or will not be free in other regulations. LDC or DAA are or will be impelled at UWB low band.
LDC will greatly restrict the available communication period while DAA will add significant burden for implementation. UWB high band is free in all regulations while the available band changes in different regulations. The common free band is only 1.25 GHz (7.25 8.5 GHz).

Discussion On UWB Bandwidth
As the maximum PSD is fixed at -41.3 dBm/MHz, a larger bandwidth will allow more transmission power.
Because a big concern at UWB high band is the transmission range, it will be better to maximally use the available bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth is only 1.25 GHz (7.25-8.5 GHz) if we want to implement a common device worldwide. A practical solution is to localize the channelization to maximally take the advantage of bandwidth.
