  • Abstract
    This paper presents an investigation about Switched Beam Antennas (SBA) for indoor positioning systems based on RSSI measurements. Given practical consideration on hardware costs, the device in exam is based on low-cost commercial components capable of standard WiFi connectivity at 2.45 GHz.
