An estimation device is provided. The distance estimation device includes a calibration circuit and a distance estimation circuit. The calibration circuit may receive channel state information (CSI), and obtain signal-path power and noise-path power according to the CSI, and perform calculation to divide the signal-path power by the noise-path power to obtain a signal-power calibration value. The distance estimation circuit is coupled to the calibration circuit. The distance estimation circuit receives a received signal strength indication (RSSI) and the signal-power calibration value, and obtains a path-loss exponent according to the RSSI and the signal-power calibration value, and obtains a distance-estimation value according to the signal-power calibration value and the path-loss exponent.
