The first part: the basic principle and characteristics of UWB (ultra-wideband) signal
The UWB signal is a short pulse signal with an extremely wide bandwidth, usually exceeding 500 MHz. Compared with traditional narrowband signals, UWB signals have the following important characteristics:
1. Broadband: The broadband nature of UWB signals enables it to pass through obstacles that traditional signals cannot penetrate, such as walls and objects, to achieve high availability of indoor positioning.
2. High resolution: Due to the short pulse characteristics of UWB signal, it has a very high time resolution, which can achieve high-precision positioning of the target.
3. Low power consumption: Compared with traditional wireless positioning technology, UWB positioning system requires relatively low energy when transmitting data, which helps to extend the battery life of the device.

Wireless ranging UWB high precision positioning system is a positioning scheme based on UWB technology. It calculates the distance and position of the target object relative to the base station by measuring the signal propagation time and signal receiving power. Its working principle mainly includes the following steps:
1. Signal transmission and reception: The UWB base station sends a specific UWB signal, which is received by the receiver after passing through the target object.
2. Time measurement: The receiver records the time when the signal passes through the target object and compares it with the transmission time to calculate the round trip time.
3. Distance calculation: According to the measured round-trip time and signal propagation speed, the distance between the target object and the base station can be calculated.
4. Multi-base station positioning: Through the positioning data of multiple base stations, the accurate position of the target object can be determined by using a multilateral positioning algorithm.
