A method and system for a Radio Frequency (RF)-based identification,
tracking and locating of objects. The method and system use a narrow
bandwidth signal in VHF of lower frequency range, which minimizes
propagation loss and loss of accuracy of the RF locating signals. The
signal is sent from a Master Unit(s) to a Tag. The signal traveling time
is recorded and the distance between the Master(s) and the Tag is
calculated. The method and system allow achieving a longer distance of
the RF signal penetration and an increased accuracy by using VHF bands.
The techniques of Digital Signal Processing and Software-Defined Radio
are used. The actual waveforms transmitted and received by the radios are
defined by the software. The roles of the Master Unit(s) and the Tag can
be reversed.
