 author = {Hislop, Gregory and Lekime, D. and Drouguet, Maxime and Craeye, Christophe},
 abstract = {This paper presents a prototype direction of arrival system designed to locate passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags in a commercial warehouse environment. The system design is discussed with focus on a MUSIC based algorithm designed to cater for multiple reflections. Special emphasis is placed on the results of a trial of the system in a warehouse.},

 abstract = {In this paper we describe a testbed for impulse radio ultra wideband based ranging and positioning. We show the characteristics of the generated, transmitted and received pulses. We consider both the maximum likelihood estimator and a threshold-based estimator for the estimation of the time of arrival. We measure the variances for ranging and positioning and compare them to the Cramer-Rao lower bounds for range and position estimation. We discuss the impact of both false multipath component detection and false sidelobe detection on the estimation accuracy. The obtained variances are close to the Cramer-Rao lower bounds when the mainlobe of the first multi-path component is detected. In realistic multipath environments we can use a threshold-based time of arrival estimator in order to detect the first multipath component which may be missed by the maximum likelihood estimator. We show also that the errors on positioning due to false multipath component and sidelobe detection can be highly mitigated by increasing the number of receivers. For a radiated energy of 8.1 pJ and a distance of 5 meters between the transmit and receive antennas, the obtained accuracy is in the order of one centimeter.},
