I studied ultra wideband decades before they started to write papers refering to UWB standard definitions [1] so I might be out of tune (pun intended) with current definitions.
A transceiver could use attosecond 10^−18, femtosecond 10^−15 picosecond 10^−12 or nanosecond 10^−9 pulses at very irregularly intervals. That seems (almost) random to any observer but not to a receiver which has pre-agreed those irregularly intervals with the transmitter (for example with quantum key distribution, with entangled particles). The receiver measures if there was a signal or not. It does not use power level, frequency, or phase (or a combination of these) of a sinusoidal wave but by generating radio energy at specific time intervals and occupying a large bandwidth, thus enabling pulse-position or time modulation.
Not just spacial distribution can be used.
You could use polarised photons, electron spin, etc.
In my wafer scale integration [2] I use very few free space photos to flip a 1 v transistor in an ultra wideband mode.
I refer you to [3] for [4] for a better explanation, even though ultra wideband is not mentioned specifically.
Contact me directly, I'll be happy to lecture for a few hours to answer your question.
