AI Article Synopsis
- This work focuses on creating a positioning system that uses ultra-violet (UV) communication and can detect signals at the photon level.
- The system relies on the time-difference of arrival (TDOA) method, involving synchronization sequences sent from three transmitters with fixed locations.
- The experimental results align closely with the theoretical predictions, validating the design and showing consistent performance in real-time tests utilizing FPGA technology.
Article Abstract
This work performs the design, real-time hardware realization, and experimental evaluation of a positioning system by ultra-violet (UV) communication under photon-level signal detection. The positioning is based on the time-difference of arrival (TDOA) principle. Time division-based transmission of synchronization sequence from three transmitters with known positions is applied. We investigate the positioning error by decomposing it into two parts, the transmitter-side timing error and the receiver-side synchronization error. The theoretical average error matches well with the simulation results, which indicates that theoretical fitting can provide reliable guidance and prediction for hardware experiments. We also conduct real-time hardware realization of the TDOA-based positioning system using field programmable gate array (FPGA), which is experimentally evaluated via outdoor experiments. Experimental results match well with the theoretical and simulation results.
