Abstract EN
The IEEE 802.15.4a standard for wireless sensor networks is designed for high-accuracy ranging using ultra-wideband (UWB) signals.
It supports coherent and noncoherent (energy detector) receivers, thus the performance-complexity-tradeoff can be decided by the implementer.
In this paper, the maximum operating range and the maximum allowed pathloss are analyzed for ranging and both receiver types, under FCC/CEPT regulations.
The analysis is based on the receiver working points and a link budget calculation assuming a frees-pace pathloss model.
It takes into consideration the parameters of the preamble, which influence the transmit power allowed by the regulators.
The best performance is achieved with the code sequences having the longest pulse spacing.
Coherent receivers can achieve a maximum operating range up to several thousand meters and energy detectors up to several hundred meters.
