Project requirements

Development requires real radio conditions and repeatable tests. Ad hoc module setups can take days of wiring, lack consistent calibration and collect non-comparable data. Coverage across LOS, obstruction, multipath and interference also requires planned tests and reliable recording.

Solution

The described platform combines modular hardware, firmware, software and calibration procedures for UWB development and evaluation.

Standard anchors and tags allow different topologies and supported TDoA/ToF configurations, with the required clock and synchronization arrangements.

Common protocols and interfaces support UART, USB or networking, simplifying setup from small anchor arrangements to larger evaluation arrays.

Calibration and analysis tools provide coordinate setup, live display, raw-data collection and error statistics. Recording configuration and environment supports later comparison.

The evaluation procedure covers static positioning, dynamic tracking, multipath/interference and concurrent capacity to produce quantified reports.

The case description reports results in development efficiency, data quality and coverage:

Development EfficiencySetup time reportedly decreased from an average of three days to under two hours, approximately 90%, and algorithm iterations from two weeks to three–five days.

Data QualityThe case reports approximately 70% lower ranging standard deviation in repeat tests, data reproducibility above 95% and approximately 50% narrower accuracy-confidence intervals.

Evaluation CoverageReported standardized test coverage reached 100%, with omitted edge/interference cases below 5%. Full regression time reportedly decreased by approximately 60%, from one week to under three days. These are reported results for the described platform.
