Morphology

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

The word is compositionally built from ultra- plus wideband, but the result is a specialized technical noun rather than a fully ordinary combination.

Etymology

Ultrawideband comes from three simple parts: ultra- meaning 'beyond' or 'extreme', wide meaning 'large' or 'broad', and band meaning a 'range'. So an ultrawideband is a kind of radio technology that uses a very wide range of frequencies for fast and precise wireless communication.
