摘要
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has experienced tremendous growth and development since its beginnings back in the 1940s. A current hot research topic in the RFID field is RFID localization. Multilateration and multiangulation are typical localization techniques used in wireless local positioning systems. While many basic wireless local positioning techniques are very similar to those used for RFID localization, system and component layouts and target applications are different. If tags can be localized in 2-D or even 3-D, a completely new and exciting application area opens up. A mobile reader capable of localizing RFID tags can build an object map of its surroundings. Correct location of hazardous goods can be verified and blocked pathways reported. Large areas inside production facilities can be scanned by antennas mounted on cranes or vehicles to gather additional information. Applications in the context of the internet of things especially RFID systems in logistics and manufacturing, augmented/virtual reality techniques and security considerations will very likely be the main drivers behind developments and products going forward.
