Abstract

There is a desire to track objects and people for Sports and Entertainment activities. The environments in which a tracking system is to operate are often very cluttered, causing fading problems. The activity within the environment means that the fading is very temporal in nature. Analysis of example sporting arenas by a ray-tracing approach shows the significance of the multipath signal characteristic determining positions accurately. The disposition of receiver stations around the arena is also investigated, showing conflicting requirements for avoiding signal blockage and the sensitivity of the system to timing errors.
