Abstract

This paper describes analysis of target positioning accuracy for ultra wideband (UWB) maximum length binary sequence (M-sequence) radar system under ideal conditions in two dimensional space. In this case, it is shown that the target position estimation error is cased by quantization of time of arrival (TOA) measured by the radar system. The appropriate statistical quantities are suggested for describing these errors. The properties of M-sequence UWB radar systems performing under ideal conditions are illustrated by a set of simulations. The results obtained in this paper can be applied as a base for the design of positioning system based on M-sequence UWB radar.
