Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Abstract This document describes the iLocate system hardware: 1. PBC beacon, Precyse part # BC91/403000, referred to as the PBC. Product description PBC beacon: The PBC is used to define a location zone. It is based on a microcontroller and 4 RF transceivers. It uses the iLocate proprietary protocol which provides a 2 way, half duplex communication with the base station and to transmit its ID to the SATs.
Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Enclosure: IP54 Antennae The Antennae for the PBC are EAD# ST-918 Specifications: Type: Quarter wave Monopole Gain: 0dBi Impedance: 50Ohm VSWR: < 2.0:1 Polarization: Vertical Radiation pattern: Omni Schematics Will be provided on demand and under confidential agreement (not for public use) System test configuration Beacon The unit was configured for normal operation.
Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Method of operation The PBC has 4 independent transceivers. The transceivers cannot operate as MIMO or phase array (beam shaping). All the transceivers are connected to a single low power microprocessor unit. Each transceiver in the unit transmits its identification packet at 20% or lower duty cycle. Each transceiver operates at a different 800KHz band (905.0, 905.8, 906.6 etc).
