Article Abstract

Currently, the ultra-wideband (UWB) technology commercialized in smartphones and smart keys is a high-rate pulse repetition frequency (HRP) UWB of the IEEE 802.15.4z standard, which aims to accurately determine the distance between UWB devices located within tens of meters using two-way ranging (TWR). However, in order for UWB ranging technology to be spread to various location-based services or positioning services, it must be able to measure the distance between UWB devices that are hundreds of meters apart. Fortunately, UWB technology can freely change physical layer parameters, as long as they comply with the UWB local regulations worldwide. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the method of configuring the packet structure, length, and transmission power from the link budget perspective to enable longer UWB ranging of hundreds of meters within UWB local regulations. As a result of the analysis, we theoretically confirmed that UWB ranging is possible even at hundreds of meters by selecting the optimal physical layer parameters. In addition, the experimental results using the Qorvo DW3000 module were confirmed to be consistent with the results analyzed in this study. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the introduction of wide-area UWB technology and services in the future.

Comprehensive outdoor UWB dataset: Static and dynamic measurements in LOS/NLOS environments.

This study provides a comprehensive outdoor ultra-wideband (UWB) dataset to examine the multipath effects in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments for real-time localization. Specifically, the dataset comprises static and dynamic datasets designed to capture discrete multipaths affected by antenna height, obstructions, and time-varying environments. A static dataset varies the antenna height and distance to analyze the multipath interference on the received signal strength and ranging error with a UWB pair and walls to replicate NLOS environments.

Localization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in spaces with a limited availability of Global Navigation Satellite System signals presents a challenge, and one possible solution is the usage of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceivers as an aid in the localization process. This paper examines the influence of placing the UWB anchors on the UAVs' localization accuracy in indoor spaces. Different testing scenarios, with variations in the number of anchors and their relative position towards the UAV, were created.

ROS (Robot Operating System) has become the de facto standard in robotics research and development, with ROS 2, in particular, offering enhanced support for real-time communication, distributed systems, and scalable multi-robot applications. These capabilities have driven its widespread adoption across academia, industry, and the open-source community. However, deploying ROS 2 applications across heterogeneous hardware platforms remains a complex task-especially in scenarios that require tightly coordinated, multi-agent systems.

In ultra-wideband (UWB) radio fuze architectures, the receiver serves as the core component for receiving target-reflected signals, with its performance directly determining system detection accuracy. Manufacturing tolerances and operational environments induce inherent stochastic perturbations in circuit components, causing deviations of actual parameters from nominal values. This consequently degrades the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of receiver outputs and compromises ranging precision.

To address the decline in the localization accuracy of magnetic adhesion wall-climbing robots operating on large steel structures, caused by visual occlusion, sensor drift, and environmental interference, this study proposes a simulation-based multi-sensor fusion localization method that integrates an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Wheel Odometry (Odom), and Ultra-Wideband (UWB). An Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is employed to integrate IMU and Odom measurements through a complementary filtering model, while a geometric residual-based weighting mechanism is introduced to optimize raw UWB ranging data. This enhances the accuracy and robustness of both the prediction and observation stages.
