Directional Multipath Exploitation for Stationary Target Localization with a Single-Antenna
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new multipath exploitation approach for stationary urban target localization with a single radar unit. The proposed non-coherent approach utilizes the embedded directivity in ultra wideband (UWB) antennas to estimate target positions using interior wall multipath returns. We assume resolvability of the multipath components, which is made possible by virtue of using UWB radar signals. This approach is most attractive when only few multipaths are detectable due to propagation obstructions or owing to their corresponding low signal-to-noise ratios. Supporting simulations results are provided.

Multipath exploited Bayesian and Cramér-Rao bounds for single-sensor target localization
In urban scenarios, radar returns consist of a direct path return along with multipath returns from signal reflections off surfaces such as building walls or floors. When multipath is resolvable, and given the knowledge of the geometry of the reflecting surfaces, it has recently been demonstrated that multipath returns create additional “virtual” radar sensors, thereby permitting target localiz...
متن کاملMultipath Routing in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks with Directional Antenna
Multipath routing protocols are distinguished from single-path routing by the fact that they look for and use several routes from a source to destination. Several routing schemes have been proposed in the context of mobile ad hoc networks that uses multiple paths simultaneously by splitting the information among the multitude of paths. However, the effect of route coupling in this environment c...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Localization of an Unknown Target Using Two Heterogeneous Sensors
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks consist of some different types of sensor nodes deployed in a particular area. Different sensor types can measure different quantity of a source and using the combination of different measurement techniques, the minimum number of necessary sensors is reduced in localization problems. In this paper, we focus on the single source localization in a heterogene...

In the present paper convergence characteristics of Sample matrix Inversion (SMI) and Least Mean Square (LMS) adaptive beam-forming algorithms (ABFA) are compared for a Smart Antenna System (SAS) in a multipath environment. SAS are employed at base stations for radiating narrow beams at the desired mobile users. The ABFA are incorporated in the digital signal processors for adjusting the weight...
