HIGH ACCURACY ANGLE OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION USING ESTIMATED RANGE TO TARGET NODE
An angle of arrival system can be self-calibrating. The angle of arrival system can continuously estimate imperfections caused by the analog RF components and dynamically apply corrections based on these estimates. As a result, an angle of arrival system can employ inexpensive components, will not require factory calibration, but can still perform geolocation with high precision.
