N2  - The measurements of an active pulsed reflector in an indoor local positioning system revealed that multipath propagation has a large influence on the positioning accuracy. In this study, a channel model is developed, which calculates the multipath components based on base station and reflector positions in a room. This model allows identifying correlations between the reflector position and the distance error. The distance error is correlated to the channel damping due to multipath propagation with a correlation factor of 0.59. By comparing the distance errors of one reflector measured by 17 base stations, the reflectors with the largest standard deviation are close to a wall. The standard deviation of 3400 simulations is 17.19 cm. This is comparable to the measurement results, which resulted in a standard deviation of 26.6 cm.
