A multipath-mitigating indoor carrier-phase position tracking system

This paper presents experimental results of a series of performance tests for an indoor position tracking system. It tracks the position of a radio-frequency (RF) transmitter and is based on a novel estimation technique known as Partial Pulse Positioning (P/sup 3/). This technique reduces the negative impact of multipath and thereby leads to a high positional accuracy. Such high accuracy will have applications in inventory management, automated guided vehicle (AGV) navigation, security applications in airports, real time tracking of sports players, surveying and motion capture.
