One of today’s most popular topics is the indoor positioning. Since GPS is widespread and used on a daily basis, we have already experienced how many modern applications a system like this may have, but a solution which would be cheap enough and easy to install is yet to be found.
However, based on the experiences of the last few years, the UWB technology could be an ideal candidate for this role. The usage of picosecond long pulses even in an environment rich in reflections enables the separation of components arriving on different paths due to multipath propagation. Thus, the time of arrival of a pulse at the receiver can be defined with proper accuracy.
During my research I’d like to design and implement an UWB positioning system for only demonstrational purpose. This paper is intended to present my work on this topic so far.
