It is an all‐inclusive solution for RTLS system development. The academic research package has been put together to enable a fast track into applications and systems design where location accuracy, reliability and scalability will be key to delivering industrial strength operational systems. As part of our commitment to academic success, the Ubisense Research Package is available to provide qualified students, faculty, and accredited institutions of higher learning a research and development system at a discounted price. Please contact Ubisense for more details. OPERATION Master sensor Area covered by location system Ubisense tags transmit ultra‐wideband (UWB) pulses of extremely short duration which are received by the sensors and used to determine where the tag is located using a unique combination of Time‐Difference‐of‐Arrival (TDoA) and Angle‐of‐Arrival (AoA) techniques. The use of UWB together with the unique AoA and TDoA functionality ensures both high accuracy and reliability of operation in challenging environments. Sensors are grouped into cells with additional sensors being added to a cell depending on the geometry of the area to be covered. In each cell a master sensor coordinates the activities of the other sensors and communicates with all the tags whose location is detected within the cell. By designing overlapping cells, it is possible to cover very large areas. © 2014 Ubisense. All Rights Reserved.

Research Package Four Ubisense Series 7000 sensors are included in the research package. The sensors detect ultra‐wideband pulses transmitted by Ubisense tags which are used to accurately determine tag locations. The sensors have an array of four UWB receivers enabling them to measure both Angle‐of‐Arrival (AoA) and Time‐Difference‐of‐Arrival (TDoA) of tag signals, to generate accurate 3D tracking information even when only two sensors can detect the tag. The sensors and tags also support two‐way conventional RF communications permitting dynamic changes to tag update rates and enabling...
