This paper will conduct an in-depth analysis of the high-precision positioning UWB tag chip, from the technical principle, application scenarios to future development trends and other aspects of a comprehensive discussion.
I. Overview of UWB technology
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is a wireless communication technology that transmits data using non-sine-wave narrow pulses from nanoseconds to microseconds. This technology has a wide spectrum range and high bandwidth, and can complete the transmission of a large amount of data in a short time, so as to achieve high-speed communication and accurate positioning. Compared with traditional wireless communication technology, UWB technology has higher positioning accuracy and lower power consumption, and has become one of the important technologies in the era of Internet of Things.
The basic principle of UWB technology is to measure the propagation time of the signal in space by sending and receiving a short time pulse signal, so as to calculate the distance between the sending end and the receiving end. Because of the wide band width of UWB signal, its multi-path effect and attenuation are small, so that the positioning accuracy is greatly improved.
Second, the technical principle of high-precision positioning UWB tag chip
High precision positioning UWB tag chip is the core component of UWB technology, its technical principle is mainly based on pulse signal transmission and reception. Specifically, the UWB tag chip emits a non-sine-wave narrow pulse signal in the nanosecond to microsecond scale, which travels through space and is then captured by the receiver. By measuring the time the signal travels from transmission to reception, combined with the known speed of electromagnetic wave propagation, we can calculate the distance between the tag and the receiver.
In order to achieve high-precision positioning, the UWB tag chip also uses a variety of advanced technical means. For example, it can receive signals from multiple receivers at the same time, using algorithms such as triangulation or small squares to determine the specific location of the label in two or three dimensions. In addition, the UWB tag chip also has a strong anti-interference ability, and can work stably in a complex electromagnetic environment.
The characteristics of high-precision positioning UWB tag chip are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
High precision: Due to the wide band width of the UWB signal and the propagation speed close to the speed of light, centimeter-level positioning accuracy can be achieved to meet the needs of various high-precision application scenarios.
Low power consumption: High precision positioning UWB tag chip adopts advanced low power design, which can reduce power consumption and extend service life while ensuring positioning accuracy.

By deploying UWB receivers on urban roads, traffic lights and other infrastructure, we can enable information exchange between vehicles and infrastructure, improving road traffic efficiency and safety. For example, when a vehicle approaches a traffic light, the light can send a signal to the vehicle through UWB technology to remind the vehicle to slow down or stop; When the vehicle is driving on the congested road section, the intelligent transportation system can adjust the traffic flow in real time through UWB technology to relieve the traffic pressure.
Personnel safety and management
In high-risk working environments such as factories and mines, the safety of personnel is of Paramount importance. High precision positioning UWB tag chip can be used to realize real-time positioning and monitoring of personnel. By wearing devices such as hard hats or wristbands with UWB tag chips for workers, we can monitor the location and status of workers in real time, ensuring their safety within the work area. Once an abnormal situation occurs, such as workers entering a dangerous area or being stationary for a long time, the system can immediately issue an alarm to remind managers to take appropriate measures.
In addition, the high-precision positioning UWB tag chip can also be applied to intelligent access control systems to improve security and convenience. By embedding UWB tag chips into employee access cards or smart wristbands, contactless authentication and rights management can be achieved. When an employee is near the access control device, the access control system can automatically identify and verify the identity of the employee through UWB technology to achieve fast and accurate access control. This not only improves the security of the access control system, but also reduces the inconvenience and error that may be caused by traditional card swiping or password input.
