Project Resolution; Reconfigurable Systems for Mobile Local Communication and Positioning

The aim of RESOLUTION project is developing of a wireless three-dimensional (3D) local positioning system with resolution in the centimetre regime and real-time ability. The system is intended to work in environment with strong multipath effects and fading. The solution will be implemented in advanced CMOS technology. Main project goals are: development of a wireless 3D high accuracy local positioning system, a novel frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar principle with pulsed active reflector will be employed, positioning system will be implemented on basis of common WLAN systems, to allow multifunctional tasks, highly integrated system on chip (SoC) frontends will be designed on advanced CMOS technology, smart power and adaptive performance control will be applied to minimize the power consumption according to application needs, in order to enhance the performance and coverage range, the transceiver features adaptive antenna combining in the radio frequency (RF) receiver.
