Abstract
We evaluated the Multispectral Solutions, Inc. RFID system in several experiments to assess its utility in tracking animals as they move around their habitat. The system consists of tags which transmit a signal and receivers which use this signal to determine the location of the tag. Our results indicate that this system, as it currently exists, does not provide sufficient accuracy or precision to be able to track animals in their noisy and cluttered environment.
