Systems and methods for using ultrawideband audio sensing systems

A device for generating an audio signal based on audio source ranging using ultrawideband signals, the device comprising:

• a transmitter circuitry;
• a receiver circuitry;
• memory;
• and
• a processor, the processor configured to:
• generate a radio signal comprising an ultra-wideband Gaussian pulse modulated on a radio-frequency carrier and transmit the radio frequency signal using the transmitter circuitry;
• receive one or more backscattered signals at the receiver circuitry;
• demodulate the one or more backscattered signals to generate one or more baseband signals, wherein generating one or more baseband signals comprises generating an in-phase component and a quadrature component, and wherein the set of frames is generated based on a highest spectrum concentration component, the component selected from a list of the in-phase component and the quadrature component;
• generate a set of data frames based on the one or more baseband signals, wherein a data frame of the set of data frames is a time series generated based on backscattered signal data collected during a time interval, wherein the time interval is defined as a period from a transmission of the radio signal to a receipt of a last backscattered signal;
• determine one or more distance bins associated with the one or more backscattered signals based on the set of data frames;
• generate a slice based on a selected distance bin, the selected distance bin selected from among the determined one or more distance bins, wherein the slice includes a selected portion of the data from the set of frames, the portion of the data selected corresponds to the selected distance bin, the data defining a slice waveform;
• and
• generate a sound waveform based on the generated slice.
