低功耗超宽带定位系统，可电池供电25天，精度达13.96厘米。

Accurate localization is essential for a wide range of applications, including asset tracking, smart agriculture, and animal monitoring. While traditional localization methods, such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), offer varying levels of accuracy and coverage, they have drawbacks regarding power consumption, infrastructure requirements, and deployment flexibility. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is emerging as an alternative, offering centimeter-level accuracy and energy efficiency, especially suitable for medium to large field monitoring with capabilities to work indoors and outdoors. However, existing UWB localization systems require infrastructure with mains power to supply the anchors, which impedes their scalability and ease of deployment. This underscores the need for a fully battery-powered and energy-efficient localization system. This paper presents an energy-optimized, battery-operated UWB localization system that leverages Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) for data transmission to a server backend. By employing single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) in a time-slotted localization approach, the power consumption both on the anchor and the tag is reduced, while maintaining high accuracy. With a low average power consumption of 20.44 mW per anchor and 7.19 mW per tag, the system allows fully battery-powered operation for up to 25 days, achieving average accuracy of 13.96 cm with self-localizing anchors on a 600 m2 testing ground. To validate its effectiveness and ease of installation in a challenging application scenario, ten anchors and two tags were successfully deployed in a tropical zoological biome where they could be used to track Aldabra Giant Tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea).
