Morphology

ultrawideband = wideband (semi-transparent) = ultra + wide + band

The word is compositionally built from ultra- plus wideband, but the term is technical and may not be fully predictable for a general learner.

Etymology

Ultrawideband comes from three simple parts: ultra- meaning 'beyond' or 'extreme', wide meaning 'large' or 'broad', and band meaning a 'range'. So ultrawideband describes technology that uses a very wide range of radio signals, which is why it means 'relating to or using radio technology that transmits signals over a very wide range of frequencies'.
