EU Project RESOLUTION

This conference paper gives a brief overview of the EU project RESOLUTION started in Feb. 2006. The goal is the development of a wireless three-dimensional (3-D) local positioning system with measurement accuracy in the centimeter regime. A novel frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar principle with active sensors is employed. This advanced local position radar will be co-designed together with common WLAN systems operating around 5 GHz. Because of the high positioning accuracy, real-time ability, and robustness against multipath effects and fading, novel applications will be feasible including smart factories, robotics, interactive guiding, object tracking and augmented reality.
