Abstract

A transceiver network comprises first, second, and third transceivers that are configured to transmit signals that are spread over a bandwidth that exceeds the lesser of 125 MHz and 5% of an arithmetic center frequency of the signals. An additional transceiver with at least a partially unknown relative position can be added to the transceiver network. The additional transceiver receives the signals from the first, second, and third transceivers and timestamps the receptions. A position calibration unit is configured to compute the position of the additional transceiver relative to the first, second, and third transceivers based on the reception timestamps and known relative locations of the first, second, and third transceivers. The additional transceiver can be configured to transmit (e.g., in a transmission time slot) an additional signal as part of the transceiver network.
