Characterization of Multipath Effects in Indoor Positioning Systems Based on Infrared Signals

This works presents advances in the characterization of multipath (MP) effects in Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) using Position Sensitive Devices (PSD). The positioning errors introduced by MP are characterized while determining the Angle of Arrival (AoA) of an infrared signal (IR) to the PSD detector. From the obtained results it can be concluded that the MP effects in the positioning using AoA on PSDs have a reduced impact on the measurements.
