Abstract

The location awareness technology is a core technology to be expanded to include objects from human-oriented informatization, and active support actions have been performed in developed countries such as the United States and Japan to implement the location awareness technology and Real Time Location System (RTLS) tag and antenna technology for real-time location tracking through a variety of projects for years. However, problems have been posed by Global Positioning System (GPS) based on the location awareness technology and active bat system using sound waves in terms of the space and construction costs. In this regard, this study attempted to suggest passive RFIF-based Indoor Positioning System (IPS) for tracking the location of the moving objects (humans and assets) in real time.
