Abstract :
In this paper, we present a novel real-time localization system (RTLS) based upon 2.45 GHZ surface acoustic wave (SAW) radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The system utilizes a novel localization method that combines the angular rotation of the RFID readerspsila antenna or read beam with the inherent time-of-flight (TOF) distance measurement capabilities using a csc2 thetas pattern for acquisition of a targeted tag around corners.
