A 5.6 GHz UWB Position Measurement System

This paper describes the design and realization of a 5.6 GHz ultra–wide bandwidth based position measurement system. The system has been entirely made using off–the– shelf components and achieves centimeter level accuracy in an indoor environment. It is based on asynchronous modulated pulse round–trip–time measurements. Both system level and realization details are described along with experimental results including estimates of measurement uncertainties.
