<p>Methods and systems for providing a long-range real-time location system comprise transmitting a power signal from one or more exciters to at least a portion of the tags, wherein the exciters are located a distance from the tags within a range required to power the tags; initiating transmission of the power signal by a reader that transmits a command signal instructing the exciters to transmit the power signal to the tags, wherein the reader is located a greater distance from the tags than the range required to power the tags; receiving by multiple wideband antennas on the reader, wideband signals from at least one of the tags, and associating with the wideband signals a time of arrival at each of the wideband antennas; and calculating by the reader a location of the at least one tag based on differences between the time of arrival at each of the wideband antennas.</p> |
