Ultra wide band (UWB) transmitter with configurable design for indoor positioning

This paper introduces a novel system design for indoor position estimation. The designed indoor positioning system is capable of detecting the coordinates of standalone ultra wide band transmitters in interior environment. An effective, but simple impulse generator has also been developed that can be used in such a positioning system. The simple impulse generator contains only three active elements. The highly configurable design methodology and the easy assembling of UWB transmitter contribute to quick evaluation of localisation algorithms.
