| Abstract | Indoor positioning is a area where more attention take place at present in both research and industry. Many fields including military services, health-care applications, search and rescue, tracking and navigation, banking and also gaming fields are benefited from having precise localization information. But traditional locating systems like GPS which support to locate the outdoor very accurately are not available to use in indoor environments. Therefore, al- ternative solutions have to be applied. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology is a better technology for positioning in indoor envi- ronment. Since it has a large bandwidth, it helps to distinguish the different multipath com- ponents which is an unique possibility in UWB. These components accurately estimate the Time of Arrival (TOA), which is required for positioning and it contains relevant information. In this way, an accuracy up to centimetre level can be obtained even though the environment contains some disturbances. |
