نویسندگان
چکیده
The accuracy of time of arrival (ToA) estimation using wide band signals is characterized. The Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for ToA estimation in multipath conditions is presented in terms of the Ricean K-factor, the ratio of direct to diffuse multipath components. The validity of the CRLB is demonstrated using thousands of measurements, where the K-factor is estimated in the spectral domain. Index Terms Electromagnetic propagation, Indoor radio communication, Multipath channels, Distance measurement.

Cramér-Rao Lower Bound for UWB Delay Estimation in Multipath Conditions
The accuracy of wide band propagation delay estimation is characterized. The Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for delay estimation in multipath conditions is presented in terms of the Ricean K-factor, the ratio of direct to diffuse multipath components. The validity of the derivation is demonstrated using thousands of measurements, where the K-factor is estimated in the spectral domain.
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Time Delay Estimation and Cramér-Rao Bounds for Multipath Exploitation
In this paper, time delay estimation using the maximum likelihood principle is addressed for the multipath exploitation problem, and the corresponding Cramér-Rao bounds are derived. A single wideband radar, and a target in a known reflecting geometry are assumed. If the multipath is indeed detectable and resolvable, it is shown here that multipath exploitation, firstly, permits estimating the a...
متن کاملDiscrete fourier transform-based TOA estimation in UWB systems
In this paper, we propose two time of arrival estimators for ultra wideband signals based on the phase difference between the discrete Fourier transforms (DFT) of the transmitted and received signals. The first estimator is based on the slope of the unwrapped phase and the second one on the absolute unwrapped phase. We derive the statistics of the unwrapped phase. We show that slope-based estim...

One of the important issues in many of array systems such as Radar, Sonar, Mobile, and satellite telecommunications is the estimation of DOA of narrowband received signal. CRB is very important in evaluation of parameter estimation. CRB is the lower bound estimation error variance for any unbiased estimation. In this paper, the array antenna with equal distance arrays is extended in two separat...
متن کاملInfluence of antenna array constellation on the accuracy of angle-of-arrival estimation in a multipath environment
Angle-of-arrival estimation is a widely used localisation method. However, multipath propagation leads to decreased performance. In this paper an expression for the CramerRao lower bound for angle-of-arrival estimation with a known transmitted signal in a two path environment is derived. The influence of array structure on the achievable accuracy and the capability of signal separation is inves...
