Location, Location, Location: The Road to Ultra-Wideband
To fully understand the value and impact that Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology delivers, we need to look at the big picture. Here we chart the evolution of location technologies, how UWB is shaping the landscape and forging a new path to the future. Learn about the potential for this exciting new technology.
The adoption of Ultra-wideband (UWB) in flagship smartphones opens up the possibilities for much more precise, reliable indoor positioning and navigation than would be possible with BLE alone. Its extremely precise locating abilities can locate products and people within one centimeter.
Requirements for Micro-based Indoor Positioning
The use of UWB-enabled sensors, tags and smart devices that identify and locate people and things, combined with other hardware and software platforms, allow companies and organizations to conduct a multitude of real-time location services.

Systems and methods include up-converting a UWB frequency pulse from a UWB radar unit to a V band frequency pulse; transmitting the V band frequency pulse via an active array antenna; receiving a V band echo pulse via the active array antenna; down-converting the V band echo pulse from the active array antenna to a UWB pulse; and feeding the UWB pulse to the UWB radar unit for processing by the UWB radar unit. A V band antenna system includes: an antenna board that defines an antenna plane being the plane of the board and comprising a plurality of antenna elements; a mother board providing a corporate combining feed to the antenna board; and a power management board to which the antenna board and mother board are mounted perpendicularly to the antenna plane, wherein the antenna elements provide a beam forming antenna for ultra wide band pulses at V band frequencies.

US Patent Application for SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PULSE SHAPING INTEROPERABILITY FOR ULTRA WIDEBAND SYSTEMS Patent Application (Application #20200259522 issued August 13, 2020) - Justia Patents Search
US Patent Application for SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PULSE SHAPING INTEROPERABILITY FOR ULTRA WIDEBAND SYSTEMS Patent Application (Application #20200259522 issued August 13, 2020) - Justia Patents Search
Some embodiments include a system and method for enabling communicating Ultra Wideband (UWB) devices to collaborate by exchanging pulse shape information. The UWB devices use the pulse shape information to improve ranging accuracy. The improved ranging accuracy can be used in complex multipath environments where advanced estimation schemes are used to extract an arriving path for time-of-flight estimation. To determine the pulse shape information to be shared, some embodiments include determining location information of a UWB device and selecting the pulse shape information that satisfies regional aspects. The pulse shape information includes a time-zero index specific to a ranging signal that is used by UWB receivers to establish timestamps time-of-flight calculations. Some embodiments include measuring performance characteristics and selecting different pulse shape information based on the performance characteristics for improved accuracy.

US20070242729A1 - Ultra-wideband (UWB) secure wireless device pairing and associated systems - Google Patents
Methods and systems are disclosed for ultra-wideband (UWB) secure wireless device pairing. Secure pairing between devices for secure UWB communications is conducted over in-band UWB communications to provide secure pairing without requiring a visual confirmation through a graphical user interface (GUI), in particular, for wireless personal area network (WPAN) communications. The secure in-band pairing of wireless UWB devices over a UWB radio link provides considerable advantages over prior secure pairing techniques.

Low-profile directional UWB antenna on chip packaging - IEEE Conference Publication
A compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is proposed in this paper. For compactness reasons, the antenna is studied in order to be integrated on a chip packaging. In addition, a special attention has been given to design an antenna with unidirectional radiation patterns. This antenna provides broadband characteristics and unidirectional radiation patterns over the whole 7.4-8.4 GHz frequency band.

Fully embedded UWB filter into organic packaging substrate - IEEE Conference Publication
In this paper, a compact ultra wideband bandpass filter has been newly designed and implemented by embedding all the passive components into an organic packaging substrate for compact 3.1 - 4.75 GHz UWB system applications. In order to reduce a size of the filter and avoid unwanted EM coupling among the embedded filter circuit elements, it was designed by using a modified 3rd cehbyshev circuit topology and J-inverter transformation technology. It was comprised of three shunt-type LC resonators, two capacitance J-inverters, two extra transmission zero inductors, and one extra transmission ze...
