Abstract
The localization of mobile wireless communication units using time difference of arrival (TDOA) is studied. The wavelet transform is used to increase the accuracy of TDOA estimation. Several denoising techniques based on the wavelet transform are presented. These techniques are applied to different types of test signals and to a simulated baseband GSM signal. The results of the denoising techniques are compared to the ones employing no denoising in terms of the mean square error. The denoising techniques allow a 28 to 81 percent improvement in the TDOA estimation.
