Time of arrival TOA estimation in multipath dense environment for UWB backscattering radio frequency identification RFID system is challenging due to the presence of strong clutter. In addition the backscattering RFID system has peculiar signal transmission and modulation characteristics which are considerably different from conventional communication and localization systems. The existing TOA estimators proposed for conventional UWB systems are inappropriate for the backscattering RFID system since they lack the required clutter suppression capability and do not account for the peculiar characteristics of backscattering system. In this paper we derive a nondata-aided NDA least square LS TOA estimator for UWB backscattering RFID system. We show that the proposed estimator is inherently immune to clutter and is robust in under-sampling operation. The effects of various parameter settings on the TOA estimation accuracy are also studied via simulations. 1. Introduction Backscattering radio frequency identification RFID is a type of RFID technology employing tags that do not generate their own signals but reflect the received signals back to the
