Using RSSI parameter in tracking methods — Practical test

Abstract

This article deals with the practical verification of the RSSI parameter as a suitable candidate for the radio signal source position tracking in a defined 2D area that uses radiolocation methods. The position information can be used as a control input for controlling the audio signal processing algorithms. For this purpose a tracking system was developed. The article also presents simulations of ideal state for a set of selected positions that are defined by coordinates [X, Y] and the practical positions measuring using designed tracking system. Several measurements were made in different areas with different surface in order to find reliability of calculation methods, also for finding changes in the behavior of computational methods in response to the changes of area.
