    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for determining motion characteristics of trains traveling along a train track. In some embodiments, a processor may determine an estimated position of a train using an observed position obtained using one or more UWB antennas and an observed position obtained using one or more GNSS receivers. In some embodiments, a processor may access information specifying a geometry of a train track and determining the position of a train along the train track using an observed position determined using one or more UWB antennas and/or GNSS receiver(s) and the information specifying the geometry of the train track. In some embodiments, a processor may determine estimated positions of a train using the geometry of the train track and at least one observation of the train obtained using one or more positioning devices and select the position of the train from among the estimated positions.

    Abstract: A device comprising: a receive antenna configured to receive radio-frequency (RF) signals having a first center frequency; a transmit antenna configured to transmit radio-frequency (RF) signals having a second center frequency that is a harmonic of the first center frequency; and a processor. The processor is configured to: generate a plurality of wake-up signals at a respective plurality of random times; and for each one of the plurality of wake-up signals, in response to generating the each one wake-up signal, cause the transmit antenna to transmit an RF signal having the second center frequency and indicating a code associated with the device to an interrogator device different from the device.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems for radio-frequency (RF) localization. The systems developed by the inventors are designed to improve the accuracy of RF localization to millimeter and sub-millimeter ranges, and additionally, are designed to do so while also limiting manufacturing costs. The RF localization systems developed by the inventors leverage the relatively low costs associated with the manufacturing of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). Manufacturing RF localization devices using PCBAs poses a number of challenges, including large minimum feature size and the presence of surface waves. Described herein are techniques for addressing challenges arising in connection with RF localization devices fabricated using PCBAs. One technique involves the use of slot-fed antennas, which makes the device efficient notwithstanding the large minimum feature size. Another technique involves the use of frequency selective surfaces for suppressing surface waves.

    Abstract: Radio-frequencies (RF) antennas for use in micro-localization systems are described. The RF antennas described herein may enable localization of objects with high resolutions, such as in the order of one centimeter or less. The RF antennas may be further configured to reduce range error variability across different directions, so that the accuracy of a micro-localization system is substantially the same regardless of the position of the object. An illustrative RF antenna includes an emitting element having first and second conductive traces patterned to reduce the angular impulse delay variability of the RF antenna. The first conductive trace may form a first arm of a spiral and the second conductive trace may form a second arm of the spiral. At least one parameter of the spiral may be selected to reduce the angular impulse delay variability of the RF antenna.

The RF antennas may be further configured to reduce range error variability across different directions, so that the accuracy of a micro-localization system is substantially the same regardless of the position of the object. An illustrative RF antenna includes a conductive housing forming a first cavity separated from a second cavity by a conductive wall. The RF antenna may further include an emitting element coupled to the conductive housing, a port coupled to the conductive housing, and an antenna feed electrically coupling the emitting element to the port. The antenna feed may pass through the cavities and the conductive wall. The antenna feed may comprise a symmetric and an asymmetric portion, disposed in the different cavities.
