  Abstract

UWB signal with high resolution capability can be used to estimate ranging and positioning in wireless personal area networks. The clock frequency differences of nodes have serious affects on asynchronous ranging methods to estimate locations of mobile nodes. The specification of high rate UWB describes successive TWR method with the estimation of a relative clock frequency offset. In this paper, we complete the ranging equations using relative frequency offset and time information, and propose a method to estimate the exact frequency offsets. We evaluate the ranging algorithms with simulation. The results show that the performances of the algorithms using frequency offsets are very close without noise. But, at noise environment, the method of exact frequency offsets shows better performance than that of relative frequency offsets.
