Consequently a channel impulse response between transmitter and receiver can be interpreted as signature for their relative positions. If the position of the receiver is known the channel impulse response indicates the position of the transmitter and vice versa. This work introduces UWB geo-regioning as a clustering and localization method based on channel impulse response fingerprinting develops a theoretical framework for performance analysis and evaluates this approach by means of performance results based on measured channel impulse responses. Complexity issues are discussed and performance dependencies on signal-to-noise ratio a priori knowledge observation window and system bandwidth are investigated.

INTRODUCTION Ultra-wideband UWB technology is characterized by relative bandwidths larger than 20 and absolute bandwidths of more than 500 MHz. These wide bandwidths improve the reliability of communications systems through frequency
