The Archimedes revision of the Ciholas Ultra-Wideband (CUWB) system is designed for developers to test and evaluate UWB technologies. The software incorporates a full Real-Time Location System (RTLS) as well as demonstrations for Two-Way Ranging (TWR) and sensor back-haul over UWB. The archimedes system is designed to be configurable and flexible to meet the demands of UWB developers.
The Archimedes release of the CUWB system is not FCC approved and is intended for use only in UWB research and development.
Information on system usage and installation is available in the online Archimedes User Manual, and the Downloads section.
The Archimedes RTLS consists of three major components:
Anchors are static devices placed in a region of interest that act as reference points. In order to generate meaningful position output RTLS applications require known physical locations within a region to compare timing data.
Tags are mobile devices placed in a region of interest that are trackable. They can be placed on objects or personnel in order to provide location data. Additionally Ciholas hardware is capable of transmitting sensor data such as 9-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer back to the CUWB network for processing.
The Master device is a static device placed in a known location that acts as a timing reference for the system. The master device transmits a timing beacon that is used by the VM algorithm to correlate timing data reported by anchors. The Master must be physically connected to the PC running the CUWB server application and serves not only as a timing reference but also receives sensor and other data from the network that is reported by devices.
Information on specific hardware usable with the Archimedes CUWB Server can be found in the components section for Anchors, Tags, or Masters
