M. M. Pietrzyk, T. Von der Gruen. Experimental Validation of a TOA UWB Ranging Platform with the Energy Detection Receiver. 2010 International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN). 15th-17th September,Zurich, Switzerland.
Abstract:
The ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is recognized as an ideal candidate to provide accurate localization in challenging indoor environments where other technologies, e.g. WiFi or ZigBee cannot yield good accuracy due to their signal bandwidth limitation. The energy detection receiver is currently one of the most promising low complexity non-coherent architectures that neither requires high sampling rates nor information about the channel. This paper presents results of experimental validation of the designed and implemented UWB ranging platform with the energy detection receiver. Insights into practical limits on the performance of the platform are provided. These include, among others, an analysis of the link budget and system parameters. The presented theoretical analysis is validated through laboratory measurements.
