چکیده

Impulse Radio (IR)-Ultra Wideband (UWB) enables accurate ranging due to very short duration pulses. Therefore, UWB may provide accurate positioning capability. In order to relax the complexity in circuit implementation, UWB system with low resolution analog digital converters (ADCs) has been investigated. In this paper, the accuracy of UWB positioning with comparators is investigated through experiment. The accuracy of positioning with comparators is compared to that with 8 [bit] ADCs, and effectiveness of the system with the comparators is confirmed within the area of 1.8 × 1.8 [m]. key words: IR-UWB, positioning, comparator

Effect of clock offset on an impulse radio ultra wideband ranging system with comparators

Impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) can achieve high resolution in ranging because it uses a very short pulse with a duration of less than 1 ns. In order to reduce cost and power consumption, a ranging system with high-speed comparators has been proposed. In this system, it is necessary to reduce noise power through averaging the comparator outputs. The authors evaluate the effect of clock of...

Influence of Waveform on Positioning Performance in a TOA/AOA based IR-UWB System

The waveform influences on the performance of positioning system based on IR-UWB, but the performance of positioning system under the condition of different waveforms has not studied enough. In this paper, the positioning performance of a hybrid TOA/AOA scheme is evaluated with various waveforms over various IEEE 802. 15. 4a channel models (CMs). Simulation results show that the MHP pulse outpe...

3D positioning scheme exploiting nano-scale IR-UWB orthogonal pulses

In these days, the development of positioning technology for realizing ubiquitous environments has become one of the most important issues. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a well-known positioning scheme, but it is not suitable for positioning in in-door/building environments because it is difficult to maintain line-of-sight condition between satellites and a GPS receiver. To such proble...
