Abstract
High bandwidth, low latency hybrid communication techniques are disclosed for a navigation system. The navigation system comprises a tracker configured to couple to the object and a localization device configured to track the tracker. In one embodiment, the localization device is configured to utilize communication on a first spectrum to track the tracker and to manage an operating parameter of the tracker with respect to communication on a second spectrum. In another embodiment, the localization device is configured to utilize communication with a first modulation method to track the tracker and to manage an operating parameter of the tracker and to utilize communication with a second modulation method for receiving sensor data from the tracker.
