High Accuracy Distance Measurement Using Frequency Comb

High precision indoor position estimation enables new opportunities for a variety of commercial, industrial and consumer applications. In this paper, we consider a phasebased method to calculate range from noisy measurements of a Frequency Comb in a multi-fading environment. It can be used to determine the range between devices for the next-generation High Accuracy Distance Measurement (HADM) protocol. We have conducted a quantitative analysis of various estimation approaches, considering both Monte-Carlo simulations of synthetic data in a variety of ranges. Moreover, we have proposed evaluation schemes for situations in which only a subset of data is available and some information may be missing, which extends existing approaches.
