There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: The objective of this research is the development of novel RFID systems and techniques for applications in localization, positioning and sensing. This was accomplished via a multi-faceted approach which included the development of a new system to overcome known read-range limitations in the interrogation of legacy RFID systems at 5.8GHz, the development of a new class of millimeter wave RFID tags operating at 24GHz for use in high accuracy localization and positioning systems and finally the development of a brand new multi-band localization strategy for high-accuracy that surpasses that achievable with the integration of a single continuous bandwidth.
