Working Student at ZIGPOS GmbH.
Silvio is part of the Embedded Group within the ZIGPOS family since September 2021 and is currently working on the testbenches for the Omlox hardware certification. He performed the 8 GHz tests (UWB channel 9) and is concurrently working on his student research project with the topic:
“Comparison of two UWB modules and their characteristics during distance determination in different radio channels”
at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the TU Dresden.
Having considered localization in practice, we now extend in-plane localization to include a dimension for position determination in space. First, we will specifically highlight the challenges in determining z-coordinates and show ways to overcome them. We will then illustrate the transition of ToF circles into spheres and TDoA hyperbolas into hyperboloids.

In the continuation to the topic “localization methods” different procedures of the realization of a localization in the ZIGPOS RTLS shall be explained and illustrated here. The article explains in a simplified way the timing and interaction between tags and satellites during the ranking process. The last part (3/3) considers localization in space and addresses its challenges as well as possible solutions

In the following technical blogpost series, we explain the basics and principles of ranging methods and give an overview of localization methods in ultra-wideband (UWB). We also describe their integration in the ZIGPOS RTLS. The blog posts are divided into 3 parts: This first part is limited to in-plane (2D) localization and its basic principles.
