UWB Localization complemented by Impulse Radar

چکیده
This paper describes a novel approach for 3D localization of an object based on fusion of the UWB radio localization techniques and UWB Impulse Radar ranging possibilities. We present a 3D localization system which includes five base stations and a TAG, and introduce the principles of our localization method. The simulation and experimental results indicate that the UWB technology based localization method is suitable for accurate 3D localization even in harsh environments including LOS and NLOS conditions. Keywords—UWB radio; UWB impulse radar; localization

متن کاملUWB Impulse Radar for Through-The-Wall Imaging
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is the promising technology for localization of the objects behind the walls. Recent terrorist activities and law-enforcement situations underscore the need for effective through-wall detection. UWB radar signals has extremely large frequency spectrum and since low frequencies has more penetration capabilities through dielectric materials it is best suitable for Through-the...
