Abstract

The ultra-wideband (UWB) system, which transmits information using nanosecond or even sub-nanosecond pulses, has been widely applied in precise positioning. In this paper, we investigate the problem of the time of arrival (TOA) estimation and the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in the UWB systems with antenna array and propose a joint TOA and DOA estimation algorithm with doubled frequency sample points and extended number of clusters. Specifically, the proposed algorithm uses two antennas to receive impinging signals and utilizes the conjugate symmetry characteristic of the delay matrices to extend the sample points as well as the number of clusters. Moreover, in order to obtain TOA estimates with low computational complexity, the proposed algorithm transforms the two-dimensional (2D) spectral search to one-dimensional (1D) searches. The DOA estimates can then be achieved by using the TOA estimation results and the geometric information. Simulation results are given to testify the performance of the proposed algorithm.
