Abstract
An apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving emergency rescue signals are disclosed. In the apparatus and the method, when an emergency occurs, it is possible to provide a function capable of notifying a place at which such an emergency has occurred by means of a corresponding terminal. Accordingly, when a rescue request is accepted, a rescue center sends a rescue team to the general position of the terminal based on the GPS position information or the reporter's statement, and finds out an exact point for a corresponding terminal by means of a searching apparatus. Herein, the rescue team receives UWB signals received from the corresponding terminal of a victim at the already understood general position through the searching apparatus, and finds the victim's exact position.
