Single VCO bandwidth circuitry is similar single element antenna bandwidth and can be quantified between 5 -10 % fractional bandwidth, FBW.
To increase the absolute bandwidth, the VCO frequency can be increased to 2x, 4x, or 8x of the required center frequency.
Consequently, post LO is frequency divided version of VCO.
Effectively that reduces the number of VCO for pulling full frequency range in UWB application, hence smaller ASIC die size, i.e., lower cost.
Octave or its multiple octave VCO resonance frequency helps with LO spurious free or purity of the desired spectrum.
