Abstract :
In this paper we present a combined angle-of-arrival and time-of-arrival localization scheme, based on two-way range estimation as defined in IEEE 802.15.4a and additional angle estimation, using two closely spaced receiving antennas. Practical measurement results are presented, showing the potential of combined AOA/TOA localization.
