Wireless Positioning Technologies and Applications (Hardcover)

GPS may get the headlines, but several other short-range wireless-positioning methods play a huge role of their own in networks like Bluetooth and applications like electronic toll collection. This first-of-its-kind book brings all of these methods together in a single source, surveying each technique's theory of operation, advantages and disadvantages, and implementation procedures. It helps engineers to select the right technology for any application and ensure the best results possible. This one-stop resource covers fundamental principles and guides engineers, step by step, through radio signal time of flight methods, the signal strength method, the angle of arrival system, and the geometric use of distance measurement to determine location.

GPS可能會成為頭條新聞，但在藍牙等網絡和電子收費等應用中，還有其他幾種短程無線定位方法扮演著重要角色。這本首創的書籍將所有這些方法集合在一個來源中，調查每種技術的運作原理、優點和缺點以及實施程序。它幫助工程師選擇適合任何應用的正確技術，確保取得最佳結果。這個一站式資源涵蓋了基本原則，並逐步指導工程師通過無線信號飛行時間方法、信號強度方法、到達角系統以及幾何距離測量的使用來確定位置。
