Written by experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive treatmenton the principle, design and engineering practice of ground-based wireless positioning and tracking systems. With a focus on medium to short range systems (UWB and RFID) and a particular emphasis on indoor systems and performance, itcovers some key topics in the field such as radio navigation and wireless positioning which have not been discussed in other books. Provides treatment on signal and receiver design for UWB ranging, theoretical ranging performance bounds, and ranging algorithms as well as the latest advances in the field such as positioning in wireless sensor networks and Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) identification. These include the time-of-arrival measurements in multipath environments, positioning performance analysis and accuracy limitations, positioning techniques for wireless sensor networks, identification of NLOS radio propagation, NLOS mitigation techniques, practical issues in designing wireless positioning systems and case studies. This will be the first book to present an in-depth comprehensive treatment of non-GPS based wireless positioning techniques with a balance between theory and engineering practice.
