Hello Wideband/UWB Gurus, how to measure "energy samples" from Energy Detector?
(Under a vehicle's belly, ) I attach a sensors (which act like a Tx) to the vehicle's tires- one sensor for each tire. As the vehicle moves, tire revolves and makes a circular "region". I have a dedicated receiver (Rx) somewhere in the middle from all (multiple-- thinking 18 wheeler, etc.) tires!
Multipath and NLOS are expected.
Question:
(1) Is the channel between the Tx and Rx time varying when the vehicle is moving?
(2) Do I have to consider fading?
(3) As the tire moves, the position of the Tx moves along the circular region. Do I need to consider doppler?
(4) I want to use Energy Detector (for non-coherence detection) to detect the UWB signals. Google tells me "energy samples" are received form the energy detector. but how does one collect "energy samples"?
(5) I want to measure and store a signal metric (like that "energy samples") and store in a database, tagging the name of the region as well. Basically, "region" here means tire.
(6) Furthermore, I want to use ray tracing to simulate this kind of environment. DO I need to define/assume some kind of channel model? Indoor UWB Channel model? S-V, etc?
Please provide me some hints. Does anyone know one or two (or more) books that talks about these topics?
Thank you.
