Abstract:
1. An ultra-wideband (UWB) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, comprising: one or more tags configured in a passive state; an ultra-wideband high peak power burst generator configured to activate said one or more tags using ultra-wideband high peak power pulses; an ultra-wideband transmitter adapted to interrogate said activated one or more tags using uniquely coded tag specific ultra-wideband pulsed formats so as to awaken predetermined one or more tags and initiate a unique response code; one or more ultra-wideband receivers configured to receive modulated interrogation ultra-wideband signals resulting from said initiated unique response codes directed from said awakened tags; and processing means coupled to each said ultra-wideband receiver for correlation, range determination, and for distinguishing said modulated interrogation ultra-wideband signals received from said awakened one or more tags.
