I. Introduction
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, radio positioning technology has become an indispensable part of modern society. Among the many radio positioning technologies, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio positioning technology has gradually emerged with its characteristics of high precision, low power consumption and strong anti-interference ability. In this paper, the UWB radio positioning chip will be introduced in detail, and its technical principle, characteristics, application scenarios and future development trend will be discussed.
Ii. Overview of UWB radio positioning chip
UWB radio positioning chip is a kind of positioning chip based on UWB wireless communication technology. It uses narrow pulse signals for communication, and achieves high-precision positioning functions by measuring parameters such as Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) or Angle of Arrival (AOA). Compared with traditional GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and other positioning technologies, UWB positioning technology has higher positioning accuracy, lower power consumption and stronger anti-interference ability.
Third, technical principles and characteristics
Technical principle
The ultra-wideband UWB Radio positioning chip uses Impulse Radio technology to communicate by transmitting narrow pulse signals. These pulse signals have high temporal resolution, enabling accurate measurement of signal transmission time difference (TDOA) or Angle of arrival (AOA). In the positioning process, it is usually necessary to place multiple UWB positioning base stations in the unpositioned area. By measuring the signal transmission time difference or arrival Angle between the unpositioned label and the base station, and combining the triangulation algorithm or fingerprint positioning algorithm, accurate location estimation of the positioning label is realized.
peculiarity
(1) High precision: Due to the high time resolution of the UWB pulse signal, the UWB positioning technology can achieve centimeter-level or even millimeter-level positioning accuracy, far exceeding other wireless positioning technologies.
(2) Low power consumption: The duty cycle of the UWB pulse signal is low, and most of the time it is in a dormant state, so the UWB positioning chip has low power consumption, which is suitable for the application scenario of long-term work.
(3) Strong anti-interference ability: the UWB pulse signal presents broadband characteristics in the frequency domain, which can effectively resist multi-path interference and narrowband interference, and improve the stability and reliability of positioning.
(4) High security: UWB signal has low interception probability and anti-interference ability, making UWB positioning technology has unique advantages in military, financial and other fields with high security requirements.
