Abstract
In this paper we introduce and describe a radio frequency-based system for location identification and tracking. The basic design of the system consists of transmitters in the environment, transceivers on the person or object for which location information is desired, and a receiver in the environment. Each of these three pieces of hardware and their associated software are discussed in this paper. We also talk about system design considerations, privacy concerns, and current and future applications of the system.
