Abstract :
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of near field phase behavior in free space. Then this paper validates the theoretical model by numerical modeling and comparison to experimental data. Near field phase behavior is the basis of a novel RF tracking technology, with a demonstrated accuracy of 30 cm at ranges up to 70 m.
