Distributed Sensor Arrays: Localization

Radiation emitted by a source is measured by transmitters and receiving sensors to determine their position, and information is sent to a central node. Time of arrival, time difference of arrival, frequency time of arrival, and strength of received signal are covered, along with effective algorithms and implementation.

Localization of transmitters and receiving sensors is achieved by measuring radiation emitted by a source to a set of sensors, which are either on a definite pattern, known as an array, or one randomly located at irregular points, known as a distributed sensor array. This comprehensive book delves into the intricate process of determining the precise position of sensors and transmitting information to a central node, also referred to as the anchor node. It encompasses various aspects such as time of arrival, time difference of arrival, frequency time of arrival, and strength of received signal. By incorporating lab experiments and numerical examples, the reader gains a deep understanding of effective algorithms and their practical implementation. Furthermore, the book explores time synchronization, including the utilization of rotating laser beams for measuring distance, in great detail. This resource is invaluable for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field of wireless sensor networks, enabling them to optimize their systems for accurate and efficient location tracking.
