METHOD FOR PERFORMING POSITIONING OPERATION ON BASIS OF ULTRA-WIDEBAND SIGNAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17960993 titled 'METHOD FOR PERFORMING POSITIONING OPERATION ON BASIS OF ULTRA-WIDEBAND SIGNAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device with an antenna and an ultra wide band (UWB) communication circuit is described in this patent application. The UWB communication circuit filters a positioning signal received from the antenna, converts it into a digital signal, and generates a UWB packet with synchronization and security fields. The device obtains channel impulse responses for each field and measures the distance to an external electronic device based on these responses.

  • The electronic device has an antenna and a UWB communication circuit.
  • The UWB communication circuit filters and converts a positioning signal into a digital signal.
  • A UWB packet is generated with synchronization and security fields.
  • Channel impulse responses are obtained for each field.
  • The distance to an external electronic device is measured based on the obtained channel impulse responses.

Potential Applications

  • Indoor positioning systems
  • Asset tracking and management
  • Wireless communication in smart homes
  • Real-time location systems

Problems Solved

  • Accurate distance measurement between electronic devices
  • Filtering and converting positioning signals
  • Ensuring synchronization and security in UWB communication

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in distance measurement
  • Enhanced security in UWB communication
  • Efficient filtering and conversion of positioning signals


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an antenna and an ultra wide band (UWB) communication circuit connected with the antenna. The UWB communication circuit is configured to filter a positioning signal received from the antenna into a specified band to be converted into a digital signal, generate a UWB packet including a first field associated with synchronization and a second field associated with security, obtain a first channel impulse response corresponding to the first field and a second channel impulse response corresponding to the second field, when the UWB packet is valid based on the second field, obtain a third channel impulse response, when there is a correlation between the first channel impulse response and the second channel impulse response, and measure a distance to the external electronic device based on the third channel impulse response.
