Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to improve the spatial awareness of mobile radio networks using ultra-wideband (UWB) signaling and signal processing. Completed research has shown novel contributions in the area of cooperative localization and tracking. The proposed research will use the same RF UWB signals to tomographically map the shadowing environment in an area. We outline the path loss and image reconstruction models to be simulated, as well as proposed experiments to obtain real data.
