    摘要: A method using a UWB for precisely positioning in an environment without a positioning infrastructure is provided. The method, when positioning objects of swarm objects in a free space, etc., calculates an object position of each object through cooperation with objects existing surrounding. In this state, positioning is simply performed without a specific anchor by defining objects as anchors in a UWB in accordance with an embodiment. In particular, cooperative positioning is quickly performed by reducing position errors of objects in accordance with pull-push relationships based on UWB TWR. Therefore, when a specific mission is performed in an environment in which a positioning infrastructure does not exist or is lost, such as a flight space, positioning is performed in the UWB-based cooperative positioning method described above, whereby precise positioning suitable for these environments is provided.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system (1) for positioning at least one mobile receiver (2), comprising at least two stationary transmitter bases (4, 4A, 4B). Each transmitter base 5 (4, 4A, 4B) is configured to transmit radio frequency signals (S1A, S1B, sdA, sdB, srA, srB) and to transmit a sum (S1A, S1B) of at least two unmodulated pure carrier signals of different frequencies; and the mobile receiver (2) further comprises: means for measuring phases of the signals; and computing means configured to: apply a Fourier transform to a signal consisting of the various measured phases of the radio frequency 10 signals; determine a time-of-flight between the mobile receiver (2) and each base (4A, 4B); calculate at least one time-of-flight difference between the mobile (2) and two transmitter bases (4A, 4B); determine the position of the mobile receiver (2) from the calculated time-of-flight difference(s).

    摘要: A method for estimating a time of arrival based on non-contiguous spectrums and an apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving a plurality of signals from a transmit end on a plurality of frequency bands; determining, based on the plurality of signals, channel frequency responses CFRs of the frequency bands corresponding to the plurality of signals; determining a CFR of full bandwidth based on the CFRs of the frequency bands corresponding to the plurality of signals, where the full bandwidth includes the plurality of frequency bands; and determining a time of arrival estimate based on the CFR of the full bandwidth, where the time of arrival estimate is used to determine location information of a terminal device.

    摘要: Systems and methods for a low-frequency radio navigation system are described. The system may include a transmitter comprising a base coded modulator configured to generate a base modulation and a data coded modulator configured to generate a data modulation; wherein the transmitter radiates a continuous, constant-power chirped-FM spread spectrum signal, comprising: the base modulation; and the data modulation, wherein the data modulation is orthogonal to the base modulation. The system may also include a receiver comprising a digital signal processor, wherein at least one matched filter coupled to the digital signal processor, the at least one matched filter configured to decode said base modulation and data-encoded modulation and provide a correlation function for received signals received from at least three geographically-spaced transmitters.

    摘要: A method for the determining a position of at least one measurement object equipped with a mobile station having a receiver includes employing at least four reference objects having a base station and a transmitter, wherein a first reference object of the at least four reference objects has a mobile station with a receiver and simultaneously acts as a measurement object. The base station and the mobile station are structurally combined. The reference objects initially have a known position that can change. The transmitters of the base stations transmit signals and the mobile stations receive signals. The method additionally includes emitting, by at least two transmitters of base stations, periodic signals of different frequencies at mutually defined time intervals, wherein these frequencies are closely adjacent.
