Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus improves the accuracy of a wireless location finding system based on the use of multipath signal signatures. A location finding apparatus measures an array covariance matrix R of a signal. The covariance matrix is compared to a database of signatures comprising calibrated signal subspaces. The comparison is based on calculating the projection of R onto each calibrated subspace. From these calculations a set of likely locations is then determined.
