A Study Of Environment Noise In Ultra-Wideband Indoor Position Tracking, William Suski May 2012

A Study Of Environment Noise In Ultra-Wideband Indoor Position Tracking, William Suski

All Dissertations

This work is motivated by the problem of improving the accuracy of indoor ultra-wideband (UWB) position tracking through the study of the environment noise that affects such a system. Current systems can provide accuracy in the range of 30-100 cm in a small building, suitable for applications that require rough room-level precision such as asset tracking and surveillance. Our long-term goal is to improve the accuracy to 1 cm or better, expanding potential applications to telepresence, augmented reality, training and entertainment.
This work investigates the possibility of systematically observing the measurement noise of an UWB position tracking system and building …
