Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. Recently, a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) local positioning concept based on pulsed frequency modulated (PFM) signals was introduced. The current paper presents a detailed analysis of the performance of the proposed PFM-UWB approach. It is shown that with PFM-UWB an excellent coverage / range can be achieved when a VCO with good phase-noise performance is used. By simulations and measurements the theoretical findings are verified and confirm that PFM-UWB allows for accuracy in the mm-range.
