| Abstract: | This paper describes the latest developments of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Precision Personnel Locator (PPL) system [1-7]. This RF-based system is used to track first responders and other personnel in indoor environments and assumes no existing infrastructure. Recent developments in a variety of areas, including creating new signal processing algorithms, RF and digital hardware, and antenna design, have enabled demonstration of indoor location to better than 1m accuracy in difficult environments with a multicarrier signal of 60 MHz bandwidth. Current work is directed at demonstrating sub-meter indoor positioning accuracy. |
