Figure 1- 1. ILT hardware schematic
The following items are recommended for a temporary installation or system testing:
Tripods (useful for positioning anchors in a temporary space)
Gaffer Tape – 1" width (useful for securing anchors and batteries in a temporary place,
without leaving behind an adhesive residue)
Batteries with USB Type B to Micro USB cables (for powering anchors) – Output Voltage
must be 5V, capable of outputting current of at least 1 Amp. We recommend a capacity of
at least 5000 mA-Hours.
USB cable Type A to type B (for connection between the sniffer and the Intel NUC)
Ethernet cable (for connection between computer and Intel NUC)
For a long-term installation, you may require additional materials which should be determined on a
case-by-case basis.
To place the ILT anchors, use the following guidelines:
The minimum space that the ILT system can operate in with stable performance is 5
meters along each dimension (X, Y, Z).
Anchors should be positioned every 30 – 35 meters. The current build will support
anchors placed with a maximum distance between all anchors of 100 meters.
Anchors should bound the perimeter of the 3-D space where the drones will travel.
Anchors should be placed on the highest plane closest to the ceiling and on the floor
(ground plane). Anchors placed in between the ceiling and floor are optional.
Avoid placement of anchors near metallic objects and if possible, leave a clearance of
15cm between the anchor and the wall or ceiling.
The coordinator (first anchor to join the network) and sniffer must be in the direct line of
sight of all anchors.
The coordinate frame follows the right-hand rule. Anchor 1 defines the origin of the ILT
spatial coordinates. The line between Anchor 1 and Anchor 2 defines the X-axis, and the
plane that runs through Anchors 1, 2 and 3 defines the X-Y plane (where Z = 0).
