Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Contribution of the course to the program objectives
Regarding the learning outcomes of the program of Bachelor in Engineering, this course contributes to the development and the acquisition of the following learning outcomes:
The skills addressed by « Project 4 » include on one hand transverse skills, common to all projects 4, and on the other hand disciplinary, technical skills that are specific to each engineering specialty. Transversal learning outcomes: Projects 4 aim at providing students with transversal skills close to the practice of engineering jobs within a multi-disciplinary context :
Disciplinary learning outcomes: At the end of the course, students will have increased their knowledge in

Content
Discover and understand the concept of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and the geolocation methods using time of arrival
Understand and justify the presence of the various components of the emitter and receiver transmission (RF source, DC block, mixer, low noise amplifier, noise figure, antennas, propagation channel, oscilloscope, etc.)
Estimation of the channel and time of arrival (maximum likelihood estimator, cross correlation, Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB), etc.)
Estimation of the position (direct localization, trilateration, Time-of-Arrival technique (TOA) and time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA)
Calculation of statistics: mean, variance, bias and distribution (estimation of time-of-arrival, position, channel model, etc.)
Impact of multiple reflections on the received signal, using panels of different materials.

Teaching methods
Work in small groups with a tutor, 2 or 3 milestones with interim presentations by the students.
Evaluation methods
Students will be evaluated both orally in group and individually through a written examination (organised simultaneously for all Projects 4) on the basis of the above mentioned objectives. An evaluation grid is provided at the beginning of the course.
Students present and defend their project in front of a jury composed of all teachers, completed by other tutors having contributed to the project supervision.

Other information
This course is part of the set of courses « Project 4 » of the programme of bachelor in engineering. Projects 4 share common transversal objectives, but exist under different versions oriented towards specific disciplinary objectives, corresponding to the majors/minors of the programme. Each student chooses the project related to one of his/her options.
