摘要
This letter presents analytical and experimental investigation of three-dimensional indoor localization accuracy using different subbands of the Ultrawideband (UWB) spectrum. Combined effect of ranging errors of each base station (due to change in pulse width, bandwidth, and UWB source pulse) on 3-D localization using a compact tapered slot antenna is studied. Higher-order Gaussian derivative source pulses (3rd and 7th) are compared to first-order Gaussian derivative theoretically and analyzed in terms of the fidelity of the UWB source pulses; localization accuracy and Cramer-Rao lower bounds have also been calculated to validate the experimental findings. It is observed that 5-GHz bandwidth gives sufficiently high localization accuracy results with an average error of 2-3 cm. Results related to the different UWB source pulse show that the third-order Gaussian derivative signal can be used to enhance (30% increase) the localization accuracy and also preserve a good tradeoff between accuracy and complexity of the UWB system.
