Ultra-Wideband Ranging System Prototype Design and Implementation

Real-time and accurate range information is essential to a variety of wireless applications, such as anti-lost devices, indoor localization and navigation, and Internet of things. Ultra-wideband (UWB) signal can achieve high-accuracy wireless ranging performance via its huge bandwidth advantage. In this paper, we design and implement a UWB ranging system prototype using ScenSor DW1000 chip. Under the line-of-sight (LoS) conditions, indoor and outdoor experimental results show the high-accuracy ranging performance with centimeter-level error of the system.
