Chirp UWB system with software defined receiver for industrial mobile ranging and autonomous control

In this paper, a chirp UWB scheme deployed for both ranging and communication is proposed. Its target application is for industrial mobile ranging and autonomous control that require very high reliability. To construct both ranging and communication circuit hardware, the SDR technique is employed as a receiver platform for this chirp UWB system. Since the chirp modulation scheme is very simple and presents a very stable communication medium, it promises that the proposed system has the high performance and robustness necessary for industrial applications.
