Abstract
AEther Wire had, prior to this project, developed the base technology to radiate and receive ultra-wideband signals. During this project, AEther Wire advanced this base technology to demonstrate a network-based localization system with eight nodes based on our fourth generation Localizer. Information regarding the embedded software, hardware development, antenna design, and integrated circuit design are presented in this report. Specific tasks included: (1) Development of networking, control, and signal processing software for AEther Wire's fourth generation Localizer. (2) Research and development of improved transmit antennas and drivers, receive antennas, and amplifiers for ultra-wideband signals. (3) Revision of custom Driver and Receiver chips to implement circuit enhancements and accommodate plastic packaging. (4) Exploration of the design of a single chip solution using System-on-a-Chip (SoC) methodology.
