Abstract
Orientation and position sensing methods and devices are disclosed. The described methods and devices are based on implementing magneto-electric-quasi-static fields for position and orientation sensing in lossy-dielectric, conducting, or metallic non-line-of-sight environments, where obstructions or occlusions or nearby objects exists that are lossy in nature and that typically perturb radio or electromagnetic wave signaling. Detailed experimental results highlighting the performance of the disclosed methods are also presented.
