This research investigates the effect of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) pulse duration on accurate localization in positioning systems. Through comprehensive analysis and simulations, we explore the trade-offs be�tween pulse duration, localization accuracy, and tracking speed, specif�ically focusing on Time-of-Arrival (TOA)-based positioning. The study sheds light on how different pulse durations influence time resolution, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the system’s ability to track dynamic movements. Our findings offer valuable insights to guide the selection of optimal pulse durations for precise localization in a variety of practical
applications, striking the right balance between accuracy and real-time tracking.
