campaign 1 Frequency Domain Measurements - Vector Network Analyzer Frequency-domain measurements have been obtained with a Rhode & Schwarz ZVA- 24 VNA The frequency range has been chosen as the full FCC bandwidth from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz (corresponding to a wavelength range of 9.67 cm to 2.83 cm), resulting in a delay resolution of 0.1333 ns and a spatial resolution of 4 cm At the l-th trajectory position, a sampled version Hl[k] of the CTF Hl(f ) with a frequency spacing of ∆f is measured The VNA has been calibrated up to (but not including) the antennas with a through-open-short-match (TOSM) calibration The FCC bandwidth has been measured for different discrete frequencies with a frequency resolution of 1.5 MHz The transmit power has been set to 15 dBm Measurement Post Processing For the VNA measurements, the major system influences on the measured CTF H(f ) have already been removed by the previously mentioned TOSM calibration This includes cables and connectors, but not the antennas, which are considered as part of the transmission channel The necessary post-processing tasks reduce to a filtering of the signal to select a desired frequency band out of the FCC range and to downconvert the signal transformed to time domain to obtain a baseband signal The filtering is done with a baseband pulse s(t) that covers the desired bandwidth The CTF is measured at Nf discrete frequencies fk = k∆f + fmin, k = 0, , Nf − 1, where fmin is the lowest measured frequency This sampled CTF H[k] corresponds to a Fourier series representation of the timedomain CIR h(τ ) [121], which is periodic with a period of τmax With f0 and fc denoting the lower band edge and the center frequency of the extracted band, respectively, and using an IFFT with size NFFT = ⌈(∆f ∆τ )−1⌉, where ∆τ is the desired delay resolution, the time domain equivalent baseband signal is obtained as r(t) = IFFTNFFT {H[k]S[k]}e−j2π(fc −f0 )t (A.1) Here, S[k] is the discrete frequency domain representation of the pulse s(t) in the desired frequency range This procedure is similar to [122] Measurement scenario We consider the simple scenario shown in Fig A.1, where one physical T anchor is present at position a1 = [4.2, 4] and the mobile agent is T placed at position p = [3.4, 1.4] UWB grid measurements are available for 484 (22x22) grid points pℓ with a spacing of 5 × 5 cm, surrounding p The measurements were performed us- ing a Rhode & Schwarz ZVA24 vector network analyzer with frequency range from 3.1 − 10.6 GHz, thereby covering the full FCC-regulated band for UWB Agent and anchor were equipped with dipole-like antennas made of Euro Cent coins mounted at a height of 1.5 m These antennas have an approximately uniform radiation pattern in the azimuth plane and zeros in the directions of floor and ceiling Within the total measured band, we selected the actual signal band using filtering with a raised cosine pulse s(t) with a roll-off-factor of 0.6 Varying values have been selected for the two- sided bandwidth, namely 100 MHz, 500 MHz, and 2 GHz, each at a carrier frequency of fc = 7 GHz A.2 Measurement campaign 2 Measurement scenario We consider indoor environments where fixed anchors communicate with a mobile agent by means of radio signals Figure A.3 illustrates the considered scenario, where two physical anchor positions at positions a(1) and a(2) are shown as blue crosses, the 1 1 agent positions p along a segmented trajectory, and some exemplary virtual anchors (VAs) are shown The VA positions are mirror images of the physical anchor positions that are induced by reflections at flat surfaces—typically walls—and thus depend on the surrounding environment (floor plan) [123] The position of the k-th VA of the jth physical anchor at position a(j) is denoted as a(j) Note that in this work we consider 1 k horizontal propagation only For brevity, we neglect the anchor index j from now on Also, we denote L as the set of measurement points Figure A.3 shows the laboratory room at Graz University of Technology that was used for the experimental validation The room consists of two plaster board walls and two reinforced concrete walls (shown as black outer lines), three glass windows at the north wall (shown as thick gray lines), one white board and one metal door at the south wall (indicated by A∗ and C∗, respectively) We introduce the following labels to refer to the involved reflection surfaces: EPB East plaster board SW South wall WW West wall NGW North glass wall 6 uwin 4 A2 2 p 0 y m −2 rwin lwall lwin −4 −6 A278 −8 −5 0 5 10 15 20 xm (a)

lines depict specular reflections at wall segments Figure A.2: Photo of corridor scenario To conduct the channel measurements, an Ilmsens Ultra-Wide band Msequence de- vice [124] was used, c.f Figure A.4a The measurement principle is correlative channel sounding [125], i.e a binary code sequence with suitable autocorrelation properties is transmitted over the channel At the receiver, the channel impulse response is re- covered using a correlation with the known code sequence The channel sounder has one transmitter port and two receiver ports A 12-bit M-sequence has been employed, corresponding to a sequence length of 4095 samples This allows for an unambiguous delay window of 589.2 ns at a clock rate of 6.95 GHz The M-sequence is modulated onto a 6.95 GHz carrier, yielding a probing signal that covers a frequency band between approx 3.5 and 10.5 GHz Each of the ports was connected to a dipole coin antenna as shown in Figure A.4b According to [81], the coin antenna has a very wide bandwidth ranging from 3 to 9 GHz It also has with a nearly isotropic radiation pattern in the horizontal plane We used the two receiver ports as anchors and placed their antennas at fixed positions a(1) and a(2) The transmitter port is connected to another antenna that was 1 1 moved along a trajectory with 595 points p, as shown in the Figure A.3, to obtain the same number of channel measurements All antennas were mounted on tripods at the same height, therefore only the copolarized, azimuth radiation pattern of the antenna has an impact on the data The raw measurements at the receiver ports were filtered with an RRC pulse with center frequency 6.95 GHz, roll-off factor 0.5 and bandwidth A2 cpill p pl 11 segment 1 10 segment 2 segment 3 segment 4 9 segment 5 segment 6 8

corresponding to the model in (2.3) The power spectral density of AWGN N0 is known and considered in the training and evaluation process Time domain measurement - M-Sequence Radar Time-domain measurements have been obtained with an Ilmsens UltraWide Band M-Sequence device [124] The measurement principle is correlative channel sounding [125] A binary code sequence with suitable autocorrelation properties (a large peak- to-off-peak-ratio) is transmitted over the channel At the receiver, the channel impulse response is recovered using a correlation with the known code sequence This Msequence radar has one transmitter and two receiver ports Hence, the mobile unit that has been moved along the measurement trajectories was the transmitter, and the two receiver ports have been used as anchors The transmit power of the M-sequence device in FCC mode is 18dBm The employed 12-bit M-sequence has a length of 4095 samples At the clock rate of 6.95GHz, this allows for a maximum delay of τmax = 589.2 ns Measurement post-processing Figure A.5 shows a block diagramm of the measurement setup using the M-Sequence radar As in the VNA measurements, the measurement system should be calibrated Figure A.5: Calibration setup for time domain measurements up to (but not including) the antennas Hence, the influence of the device internal transfer functions and the measurement cables and connectors, combined in the transfer function Hsys,i(f ) for the i-th RX channel, as well as the crosstalk between TX channel and i-th RX channel, Hcross,i(f ), have to be compensated For the further description, we will drop the channel index To achieve this, two types of measurements are necessary First, to determine the crosstalk, the TX antenna is unmounted and the TX port is terminated with a 50Ω match and the crosstalk signals are measured Second, also the RX antennas are unmounted and TX and RX cables are connected In this way, Hmeas(f ) = Hsys(f ) + Hcross(f ) are measured Using the measurement configuration with all the antennas as depicted in Figure A.5 yields Hmeas(f ) = H(f )Hsys(f )+Hcross(f ) Hence, a calibrated version of the radio channel transfer function is obtained as Hmeas(f ) − Hcross(f ) H(f ) = (A.2) Hsys(f ) − Hcross(f ) To avoid excessive noise gain, we use a thresholding on the time-domain representation of the denominator in (A.2) and set samples below the threshold to zero The time domain signal is obtained by an inverse Fourier transformation Finally, the time- domain signal within the ... reach their intended destination In
