Abstract
An example system for locating passive RFID tags includes a narrowband RFID reader configured to transmit a narrowband RF signal to energize a passive RFID tag, thereby causing the passive RFID tag to create a backscatter reflection target; a first wideband transceiver configured to transmit a wideband RF signal; a second wideband transceiver configured to: receive the wideband RF signal reflected from the backscatter reflection target; and record time-of-arrival data for the reflected wideband signal; and processing circuitry configured to determine a location measurement of the passive tag based on the time-of-arrival data.
