Inhalt:
Quantification of distortion effects on UWB system performances in terms of positioning error is analysed in this research. UWB multipath distorted channels are simulated in each frequency subband, over 2-11 GHz. Its characteristics are modelled corresponding to multipath clusters along the propagation paths. The classification of clusters and physics-based distortion mechanisms are generalized to be included into the simulation algorithm. Finally, distortion impacts on system performances regarding to frequency dependent characteristics and positioning errors are investigated.
