PHASE DIFFERENCE OF ARRIVAL

UWB PDoA Positioning.

Use phase differences to understand direction.

For entry-direction detection, local guidance and combined range/angle applications. Phase differences across coherent receiving antennas estimate arrival direction; ranging or multiple stations provide the additional location constraints.

HOW IT WORKS

From radio signals to usable location.

A signal produces a phase difference at spatially separated antennas. Array geometry and RF calibration translate this into an angle estimate. An angle alone does not uniquely determine a complete position: range, additional angles or other constraints are normally required.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURECONCEPT · NOT LIVE DATA
01

UWB signal

A compatible tag transmits a signal for phase observation.

02

Coherent reception

Dedicated RF hardware obtains multi-antenna phase measurements.

03

Calibrated angles

Calibrate phase, antennas and installation geometry.

04

Constraint fusion

Combine range or multiple observations to determine position.

Direction information

Add an angular dimension to support direction-aware applications.

Local evaluation

Assess defined spaces such as entrances and workstations using sample hardware.

Fusion options

Combine ranging, multiple stations and motion constraints as hardware permits.

DEPLOYMENT ESSENTIALS

Check the deployment requirements.

01PDoA requires suitable RF hardware. A UWB or dual-channel product name does not imply coherent phase measurements.

02Antenna spacing, phase ambiguity, temperature drift and metal reflections affect angles; on-site calibration is required.

03None of the supplied specifications explicitly confirms PDoA support. Related products are enquiry entry points, not a compatibility commitment.
