The EIGER project proposes a global approach for the exploitation of the efficient joint use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) positioning in order to allow permanent and reliable outdoor/indoor localization. This paper is focused on the UWB positioning subsystem designed within the project. The architecture of the subsystem, design of its components and the transmission scheme leading to the time difference of arrival determination are described. Results of system laboratory tests are presented and discussed.References
