Abstract:

In an Ultra-wide band (UWB) sensor network signal reflections from objects can be used to accurately determine the location. UWB signals are preferred in these types of sensor networks since they provide a very good resolution due to their fine time granularity. We propose an artificial neural network based localization to detect single object in a sensor network and compare its performance to Cramer-Rao bound and least squares estimator. Then we propose a two phase algorithm for multiple object detection and evaluate the algorithm for the case when there are two objects in a sensor network with three nodes.
