This paper describes the design and realization of a magnetic indoor positioning system. The system is entirely realized using off-the-shelf components and is based on inductive coupling between resonating coils. Both system-level architecture and realization details are described along with experimental results. The realized system exhibits a maximum positioning error of <10 cm in an indoor environment over a 3 × 3 m2 area. Extensive experiments in larger areas, in nonline-of-sight conditions, and in unfavorable geometric configurations, show submeter accuracy, thus validating the robustness of the system with respect to other existing solutions.
