Abstract
Ultra wideband (UWB) technology has been shown to possess unique advantages for precision localization applications. The use of short pulse RF waveforms provides inherent precision for time difference of arrival measurements, as well immunity to multipath effects in indoor applications. This paper describes an FCC-approved, commercial UWB precision asset location system which is being used for tracking of high valued assets in hospitals, factories and in military facilities.
