Abstract

We show a significant discrepancy between the range estimates and the actual performance of an ultrawideband wireless system based on the Wimedia standard. We also show this discrepancy to be linked to the combination of frequency selectivity of the ultrawideband channel and the low dynamic range available to ultrawideband receiver. We propose an alternative means of range estimation combining the statistics of frequency selective fading and the path-loss and we show that this algorithm provides significantly more accurate estimation.
