Abstract: Indoor positioning system (IPS) is becoming more and more popular in recent yearsin industrial, scientific and medical areas. The rapidly growing demand of accurateposition information attracts much attention and effort in developing various kindsof positioning systems that are characterized by parameters like accuracy, robustness,latency, cost, etc. These systems have been successfully used in many applicationssuch as automation in manufacturing, patient tracking in hospital, action detection forhuman-machine interacting and so on.The different performance requirements in various applications lead to existence ofgreatly diverse technologies, which can be categorized into two groups: inertial positioning(involving momentum sensors embedded on the object device to be located) andexternal sensing (geometry estimation based on signal measurement). In positioningsystems based on external sensing, the input signal used for locating refers to manysources, such as visual or infrared signal in optical methods, sound or ultra-sound inacoustic methods and radio frequency based methods.This dissertation gives a recapitulative survey of a number of existence popular solutionsfor indoor positioning systems. Basic principles of individual technologies are demonstratedand discussed. By comparing the performances like accuracy, robustness, cost,etc., a comprehensive review of the properties of each technologies is presented, whichconcludes a guidance for designing a location sensing systems for indoor applications.This thesis will lately focus on presenting the development of a high precision IPSprototype system based on RF signal from the concept aspect to the implementationup to evaluation. Developing phases related to this work include positioning scenario,involved technologies, hardware development, algorithms development, Fermware generation,prototype evaluation, etc..
