The devices include at least one small unitary, passive transceiver (PT) and at least one active transceiver (AT) and where necessary, one or more repeater-relays and/or reflectors. The PT is attached to or embedded in the item to be identified. The PTs are encoded, decoded, identified, and located and/or their motion is detected and/or measured by the AT. The AT unit functions can be accomplished by one or more independent devices or a single device.
