We use an ultra-wideband (UWB) off-the-shelf Decawave kit for channel impulse response (CIR) acquisition, where a two-antenna anchor is fixed in space and a single-antenna tag is placed on a person’s chest. The multipath is extracted from the CIR at each snapshot by non-super-resolution CLEAN algorithm, and the extracted multipaths are tracked during the body movement. Two types of body motions are considered: translational linear movement and rotational spin movement. Both line-of-sight (LOS) and Non-LOS (NLOS) scenarios are incorporated. The results show that the multipaths’ track could well resemble the ground truth, and this observation is instructive for localizing on-body tag in NLOS scenarios with the assistance of, e.g., IMU.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124427521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TPD is designed based on phase reconfigurable synthesized transmission lines (PRSTLs) as the tuning elements, in which the characteristic impedance is kept unaltered during phased tuning. In order to achieve continuous beam steering capability, two beam ports of the Butler matrix are excited with an appropriate weighting factor between signals, which is generated and controlled by the TPD.
