La tecnología de banda ultraancha, típicamente caracterizada por una radiación de muy baja potencia en una banda de radiofrecuencia muy ancha, podría facilitar toda una serie de aplicaciones de comunicación, medición, localización, medicina, vigilancia e imágenes beneficiosas para diversas políticas comunitarias, incluidas las de la sociedad de la información y mercado interior. Dadas estas circunstancias, es importante establecer unas condiciones reguladoras que favorezcan el desarrollo de mercados económicamente viables para las aplicaciones de tecnología de banda ultraancha a medida que vayan surgiendo oportunidades comerciales. 3, record 1, Spanish, - banda%20ultraancha

[...] la banda ultra ancha utiliza una energía muy baja, ofrece una banda mucho más ancha y permite reutilizar frecuencias asignadas con otros usuarios sin muchas interferencias; también tiene sus desventajas, sólo opera en rangos de hasta 10 metros y los dispositivos tienen que ser monitorizados de cerca para asegurarse de que no utilizan mucha energía [...] 2, record 1, Spanish, - banda%20ultraancha

However, some episodes of elevated sulphur dioxide still occur, with emissions from the smelter's stack spreading over the community. This happens during weather conditions called surface inversions that force the plume from the smelter stack down to the ground instead of allowing the emissions to disperse. Fugitive spill gases can also have an impact on downtown air quality, although the frequency of these events is decreasing. 6, record 3, English, - smelter%20stack

Bandwidth Spreading : Signal Spreading works quite well in situations with strong narrow band interference signals since the SS signal has a unique form of frequency diversity. The actual signal spreading may be achieved with one of three basic techniques. These include direct sequence, frequency hopped and pulsed FM or hybrid forms. 2, record 4, English, - bandwidth%20spreading
