Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007085517A1] The present invention relates to a radio-based system for multi-dimensional location of a target object (2). A target object (2) may be, in particular, an RFID transponder. In this context, a base signal (4) is emitted by a base station (1) and is sent back by a back scatter transponder. A distance between the base station (1) and the transponder is determined by means of a frequency spacing ?F between two maximum values in the base band of the spectrum of a base signal (4), transmitted with a simultaneously received response signal (5) superimposed on it, from an antenna (3) of the base station (1). Phase evaluation is carried out in order to calculate a target deviation angle a<SUB>z </SUB>. Depending on the number and arrangement of the antennas (3) of the base station (1), a unidimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional locating process can be carried out.
