Influence of Waveform on Positioning Performance in a TOA/AOA based IR-UWB System

The waveform influences on the performance of positioning system based on IR-UWB, but the performance of positioning system under the condition of different waveforms has not studied enough. In this paper, the positioning performance of a hybrid TOA/AOA scheme is evaluated with various waveforms over various IEEE 802. 15. 4a channel models (CMs). Simulation results show that the MHP pulse outperforms other waveforms in CM3 and CM5, and the RRCP outperforms other considered waveforms in CM1 and CM7.
