According to the present invention, there is provided a system and method for wireless sensor networks (WSN) positioning which is cost-effective, scalable, can be easily implemented, and provides excellent performance and accuracy. In the present invention, a few reference nodes with known locations transmit linear frequency modulation continuous waves (FMCW), while sensor nodes receive these waves and calculate the range difference among them based on the time frequency difference arrival (TFDA). The location information of the sensor nodes is obtained through the solving of a set of hyperbolic equations. This technique is cost-efficient, scalable and can be easily implemented.
