Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of basic RF position location strategies which are feasible for ubiquitous deployment by cellular-type wireless system providers. Limitations on the practical ability to locate mobile RF transmitters and the effects of real world channel degradation on direction-finding and time difference of arrival systems are also discussed
