XVII, pp. 447460, 2010. In-house UWB test-bed Pulse-based UWB (low complexity power cost) Fine time resolution Accuracy (10 cm - order) Robustness to multipath (resolvable paths) Round-Trip-Time measurement (no pulse-synchronization) Satyam Dwivedi - KTH Signal Processing Lab - 2011/10/04
6. Satyam Dwivedi - KTH Signal Processing Lab - 2011/10/04 Round-Trip-Time ranging Variant of TOA 2 way time-of-flight Master-slave architecture (measurement unit - responder) Advantage: Synchronization requirement can be relaxed Potentially infrastructure-free (anchor-less cooperative positioning) Drawback: Compensation for slave latency TX/RX in both master and slave
7. UWB research issues (ongoing work): Interference mitigation (energy detection RX) Flexible platform for digital signal processing (FPGA) High frequency radio front-end Fundamental limits for position estimation (theoretical evaluation) Experimental characterization (test environment) Sensor fusion Satyam Dwivedi - KTH Signal Processing Lab - 2011/10/04
