In this paper, a ranging technique based on narrowband transmissions in the 2.4. GHz ISM band is discussed. Multipath mitigation techniques based on Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) philosophy are considered, discussing the effect of antenna rotations on the achievable performance under Line of Sight conditions, and the effect of RSSI measurement uncertainty on the effectiveness of the mitigation techniques. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed approach can effectively improve the ranging accuracy. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract
In this paper, a ranging technique based on narrowband transmissions in the 2.4. GHz ISM band is discussed. Multipath mitigation techniques based on Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) philosophy are considered, discussing the effect of antenna rotations on the achievable performance under Line of Sight conditions, and the effect of RSSI measurement uncertainty on the effectiveness of the mitigation techniques. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed approach can effectively improve the ranging accuracy. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.File in questo prodotto:
