UWB technology applied to millimeter-wave indoor location systems

This study deals with UWB technology applied to location systems operating in the millimeter-wave frequency band. Sub-nanosecond impulse topologies are considered to achieve indoor location systems operating at 60 GHz. For each system, an original focusing technique is implemented to minimize the degradation of the location error due to the impact of the multipath propagation.
