In this paper, we propose a novel energy detection (ED) receiver architecture combined with time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation algorithm, compliant to the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. The architecture is based on double overlapping integrators and a sliding correlator. It exploits a series of ternary preamble sequences with perfect autocorrelation property. This property ensures coding gain, which allows an accurate estimation of power delay profile (PDP). To improve TOA estimation, the interpolation of PDP samples is proposed and the architecture is validated by using an ultra-wideband signals measurements platform. These measurements are carried out in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight multipath environments. The experimental results show that the ranging performances obtained by the proposed architecture are higher than those obtained by the conventional architecture based on a single-integrator in both LOS and NLOS environments.

The subspace-based technique is used for the estimation of the time of arrival and Doppler shift of a signal of known waveform. The tool to find required subspaces is a special orthogonal decomposition of received data. It allows one to concentrate Fisher information on the desired parameter in just a few of the first terms of the decomposition. This approach offers a low-dimensional vector of sufficient statistics. It leads to computationally efficient Bayesian estimation. Besides, it results in expansion of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range for effective maximum likelihood (ML) estimation. Finally, we can obtain independent time arrival and Doppler shift estimations based on generalized eigenvectors.
