This doctoral thesis presents a comprehensive exploration of ultrawideband technology in addressing diverse challenges within localization systems. Beginning with the development of an innovative, cost-effective, and anonymous contact tracing solution for industrial environments during the COVID-19 pandemic, the research integrates ultra-wideband positioning, Bluetooth low-energy, and inertial measurement units. The subsequent sections delve into relative positioning systems, device-free localization, UWB bistatic radar sensors, and UAV-based tracking, showcasing novel methodologies and hardware implementations with promising outcomes. The work extends to groundbreaking approaches in deploying UWB infrastructure through self-deployable robots and cooperative positioning schemes using a UAV swarm. The contributions highlight versatility, costeffectiveness, and scalability, opening new possibilities for applications in security, logistics, IoT services, and space exploration. In summary, this thesis represents a significant advancement in localization systems, offering practical solutions and paving the way for future research and applications |
