Comparison of low complexity UWB range estimators based on experimental data

Abstract

In this paper, performances of low complexity time based range estimators that are employed for ultra wide-band (UWB) systems are compared using experimental data. These estimators are widely used in practical applications due to their low complexity. However, performances of these estimators vary depending on the choice of certain parameters such as the threshold value and window size. The optimal values for these parameters are investigated for several situations using the data acquired in the experiments. © 2012 IEEE.
