Abstract

This paper focuses on radio-frequency (RF) location determination characteristics and implementations. A presentation of RF transmission, propagation and reception characteristics is provided and a summary of some the major developments of RF-based location systems is also discussed. RF determination capabilities are typed and classified and outlined. Finally, examples of RF-based location systems are given.
