摘要：

In this letter, the concept of pseudorandom active reflector, based on the ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, is introduced. It consists in a simple device that repeats a slightly delayed version of the received UWB signal only in certain time intervals according to a suitable pseudorandom time-hopping sequence. An example of application of this device for accurate ranging in precise location systems is given. The advantages of this solution are in the hardware simplicity (only the analog section is present), in the low power consumption of the reflector and in the low timing constraint regarding the relative transmitter and reflector clock rates.
