Abstract

The performance of radiolocation systems which make use of observed time difference of arrival techniques is investigated. We refer to a classical third generation WCDMA wireless system where measurements are performed in the direct connection (from base station to mobile). The system performance is evaluated by using a ray-tracing technique to characterize the behaviour of typical urban environments
