Abstract

Ultrawideband (UWB) systems offer high spatiotemporal resolution and are therefore well suited to sensor localization applications. In this paper, we consider the use of UWB signals for positioning and ranging based on fingerprinting using a channel impulse response database. We use indoor measurements to demonstrate the reduction in the location estimation ambiguity and false alarm probability with an increase in the channel bandwidth.
