Zaied, Salah: UWB Localization of people-accuracy aspects

Zusammenfassung 

UWB sensors feature very large bandwidth. This bandwidth allows very accurate localization of tag-free targets such as 
people. In this case, an UWB localization system localizes tag-free by means of backscattered electromagnetic waves. 
There exist different localization approaches. The thesis concerns with the accuracy aspects of time-of-arrival based 
localization approaches. The thesis provides different solutions to the localization problem which is mathematically 
described by a system of two dimensional nonlinear equations of the second order like. These solutions cover: Taylor 
series linearization, intersection of ellipses and the spherical interpolation. The thesis analyses performance of these 
localization approaches in different simulation scenarios. The principal component analysis was used to evaluate 
precision of these localization approaches.
