1. Introduction
The P350-T010101 Tag, hereafter referred to as the P350 Tag, is the transmitter for the P350 Ultra Wideband
Active RFID Tracking System. It is small in size, durable, and with its long battery life, requires minimal
maintenance. It has been certified by U.S. FCC to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules subject to the
conditions listed under the Regulatory Notice on Page 2 of this manual. Figure 1-1 shows the tag’s FCC
identification (ID) number with a sticker denoting its unique device ID. Figure 1-2 demonstrates the small
size of the tag device.

2. Overview
Background
Tag tracking is accomplished by analyzing time-differences-of-arrival (TDOAs) of tag transmissions. When
a tag transmits a packet, readers that successfully receive the packet will send out information concerning the
tag packet, including a precise timestamp. The difference in the timestamp between readers gives the TDOA
for that reader pair/tag combination. At least three readers must hear a tag in order to determine a valid
position for that tag.
P350 Tag
Within the P350 Ultra Wideband Active RFID Tracking System, the P350 Tag is used both to calibrate the
tracking system readers and to track assets within the system.
When used as a calibration tag, the tag’s unique id and position are input to the system. During the
calibration process, the tag remains stationary at this location, transmitting ultra wideband (UWB) RF
packets. As the readers “hear” and report time-of-arrival (TOA) data, a solution is determined and
calibrated. The system must be calibrated before tag tracking can commence.
When used to track assets, the tag is mounted on that asset, and through transmitted RF packets, sends its unique
device ID and status. As the system readers hear the tag, the tag position is determined and the position is added
to its internal database. Note that the tracking system automatically discovers new tags and adds those newly
discovered tags to that database.
