In this thesis, an estimation method adapted from MUSIC algorithm is presented for estimation of signal arrival time for impulse radio UWB systems. An accurate estimate of signal arrival time is considered essential in time-based wireless and indoor location systems. Since most wireless communications systems used for indoor position location may suffer from dense multipath situation, the accuracy of determining signal arrival time become an important issue for the time-based location systems. The fine resolution of UWB signals provides potentially accurate ranging for indoor location applications. However, the ambiguity caused by the unresolved first arrival path may still yield an error in determining the true signal arrival time. The presented method uses improved MUSIC techniques in time domains to estimate the shortest and the real signal arrival time for UWB radio link. For a two-multipath case, analysis and simulation results of multipath resolvability and the variance of estimation errors of signal arrival time are discussed.
