Abstract: 
This system is based on a UWB wave distributed radar using a trilateration algorithm for localization. Before describing the complete system, we detail some signal processing techniques on the UWB signals acquired directly at the output of the reception antenna. To apply the trilateration algorithm, the signals coming from the reception antennas must first be shaped. The necessary processing is to improve the signal to noise ratio (S/N), to extract the signal envelope and to determine the propagation time. Once the propagation time is known, the trilateration algorithm is used to locate the targets.
