Performance of an IEEE 802.15.4a ranging system in multipath indoor environments

This work presents an Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband ranging system that is compliant with the IEEE802.15.4a standard. A novel Time-of-Arrival estimator is proposed for ranging purposes. This estimator is robust against multipath fading and presents a small ranging error. Measurement results show the...

Description
Summary:This work presents an Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband ranging system that is compliant with the IEEE802.15.4a standard. A novel Time-of-Arrival estimator is proposed for ranging purposes. This estimator is robust against multipath fading and presents a small ranging error. Measurement results show the good accuracy of the proposed ranging system.
