Abstract

In this work, a unique continuous-time binary-value (CTBV) IR-UWB transceiver based on time-of-flight (ToF) technique is demonstrated. The demonstration includes real-time communication between master and slave nodes and its corresponding ToF estimation through live plotting which aids in localization. The CTBV ranging system is adding both localization and communication in a single chip (3.6 mm²) to provide precision ranging (ranging accuracy ≈ 0.9 cm) with minimal area suitable for wireless capsule endoscope localization [1][2].
