In this paper, a unified framework for Ultra-Wideband channel (UWB channel) modeling based on the maximum entropy approach is provided. For a given set of constraints, a consistent model which takes into account the information at hand is obtained. Two cases are considered: channel power knowledge and knowledge of the covariance matrix. The channel power delay spectrum is also derived and the impact of the channel bandwidth is assessed through information theoretic considerations. The information variation slope with respect to the bandwidth is also studied, based on wideband measurements performed at Institut Eurecom1.
