Position estimation of wireless devices has many applications in
short-range networks. Ultra-wideband (UWB) signals provide accurate
positioning capabilities that can be harnessed in wireless systems
to realize these applications. This title provides detailed
coverage of UWB positioning systems, offering comprehensive
treatment of signal and receiver design for ranging, range
estimation techniques, theoretical performance bounds, ranging
algorithms and protocols. Beginning with a discussion of the
potential applications of wireless positioning, and investigating
UWB signals for such applications, later chapters establish a
signal processing framework for analyzing UWB positioning and
ranging systems. The recent IEEE 802.15.4a standard related to UWB
is also studied in detail. Each chapter contains examples, problems
and Matlab scripts to help readers grasp key concepts. This is an
ideal text for graduate students and researchers in electrical and
computer engineering, and practitioners in the communications
industry, particularly those in wireless communications.
