Abstract
A system, electronic monitor and method are provided that utilize the capabilities of impulse radio technology to overcome the shortcomings of conventional house arrest monitoring systems. One embodiment of the present invention enables monitoring personnel (e.g., police officers, parole officers) to determine whether a person under house arrest and carrying an electronic monitor stays within their home. Another embodiment of the present invention enables monitoring personnel to determine whether a person under house arrest and carrying an electronic monitor is located within their home and/or also enables monitoring personnel to monitor the vital signs of that person.
