Abstract :
Precision ultra-wideband ranging requires accurate estimation of time of arrival (TOA). The threshold-based TOA estimation has attracted considerable interest due to its simplicity. In this paper, we propose a technique to set the threshold as a function of delay instead of a single value as in conventional methods. Simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to conventional methods.
