Adopting the LANDMARC Positioning System for 2.4 GHz Band

The LANDMARC positioning system has gained a lot of interest in the past few years. Many research groups and researchers have developed different enhancements in 308 MHz band but no research has been done so far using LANDMARC in the internationally free to use 2.4 GHz Band. Using open source active RFID technology we describe our approach of adopting the LANDMARC system for 2.4 GHz band and what the main challenges are. As being open source hard- and software, our RFID tags can be flashed with individual firmware. Therefore, we used one that enables our tags not only to identify themselves to the readers, but also between each other - a feature we additionally used to adopt the LANDMARC system.
