Wireless Localization: Methods and Challenges

This lecture covers the process of obtaining a human or object's location using wireless signals, focusing on methods such as RSSI-based localization, AoA-based localization, and TDoA-based localization. It discusses the challenges faced in each method, such as accuracy limitations, hardware requirements, and signal processing delays. Additionally, it explores the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for localization and the principles behind Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Frequency Modulated Carrier Wave (FMCW) technologies. The lecture also delves into the basics of RADAR technology and its historical significance in detecting objects. Various concepts like multipath profiles, antenna arrays, and time of flight measurements are explained in detail.
