Ultra-Wide Band Applications in Industry: A Critical Review / Ultraplačios Juostos Bangų Taikymas Pramonėje: Kritinė Apžvalga

Abstract

As a radically distinct wireless communication approach compared to traditional narrow band systems, ULTRA-WIDE BAND (UWB) technology has been applied in various sectors and is gaining in popularity, but there appears to be a lack of systematic summary of the potential of this technology. To provide insights into UWB technology for the uninitiated reader, this paper explores the state-of-the-art research and development of UWB applications in many sectors including the construction industry without concerning the technological details. First this paper presents the key concepts related to UWB technology and a brief history of UWB. Then it summarizes the UWB's technical features which enable its popularity in industry. Finally, application examples of UWB technology in many sectors, including construction, are presented to analyze and highlight the impact on the industry performance. In the near future UWB technology is expected to become a very important component and have far-reaching impact in ubiquitous computing. Santrauka Bevielio ryšio ultraplačios juostos bangų (UWB) technologija, radikaliai besiskirianti nuo tradicinės siauros juostos sistemų, buvo plačiai taikoma įvairiuose sektoriuose ir tampa vis populiaresnė, tačiau akivaizdu, kad vis dar trūksta susistemintos šios technologijos galimybių apžvalgos. Siekiant pateikti įžvalgas apie UWB technologiją, šiame straipsnyje analizuojami dabartiniai UWB technologijos tyrimai ir UWB taikymas įvairiuose sektoriuose, įskaitant statybą, nenagrinėjant technologinių detalių. Pirmiausia šiame straipsnyje pristatomos pagrindinės sąvokos, susijusios su UWB technologija ir UWB technologijos istorine raida. Tada susisteminamos techninės UWB technologijos charakteristikos, kurios lemia jos populiarumą pramonėje. Galiausiai analizuojami UWB technologijos taikymo pavyzdžiai įvairiuose sektoriuose, įskaitant statybą, atkreipiant dėmesį į jų poveikį pramonės veiklai. Netolimoje ateityje UWB technologija turėtų tapti labai svarbi ir turėti ilgalaikį poveikį visuotinei kompiuterizacijai.

Research Trends of Human–Computer Interaction Studies in Construction Hazard Recognition: A Bibliometric Review

“…(iii) Third, the existing experiments need to reflect on the impact of the amount of data on the results. With regard to the amount of data, both the number of trials and samples were generally too small [77]. Regarding trial times, the number was mainly about 30, which only met the minimum standards of basic statistics and could not easily demonstrate the validity of the results [31].…”

Factors Influencing Adoption of New Construction Technologies in Developing Country

“…The adoption of emerging technologies, according to Jiang et al [15], could reduce the length of the construction process and speed up activities, while increasing worker safety and health. Hence, the construction timeline and work progression are greatly enhanced in the construction sector and can speed up high-precision testing, monitoring, and control of materials by implementing modern technology while avoiding exposure to external heat stress.…”

Jiang and others [15]. Since it retains and ensures superior finishes and quality, it is preferable to use controlled prefabrication or machine installation rather than having the staff handle any…”

Transducer Technologies for Biosensors and Their Wearable Applications

“…Since UWB technology requires a special transmitter and receiver infrastructure, it has not yet entered the informatics market, except for a few industrial applications [ 224 ]. However, the current advancements and planning for the integration of UWB sensors in mobile phones show that UWB sensors will be used in a wide variety of areas in the very near future, including wearables [ 225 , 226 ].…”
