Summary
EOS is an experiment for evaluating and calibrating the accuracy of location-determination with on-surface brought infrastructure/equipment. The physical approach is cross bearing of one movable transceiver cooperating with two or more ground-fixed stations working with turn-able antennas. These will watch out for the best signal strength and detect the belonging angle to pass on the angle of the best signal strength within one turn to the movable/tracked device. To make things or persons track-able they'll need a transmitter which will be a box with a rod antenna. This transmitter will be completely mobile and transportable.
Objectives
By performing our experiment we will find out, what accuracy we can reach at different build-ups with "common" micro-controllers. Therefore we learned how to handle communication between micro-controllers and how to reduce our deviation by calibrating the system - in terms of calibrating the fixed systems for evaluating a system-inside coordinate system. Furthermore we get used to handle broad system structures which requires well timed operations and 'smooth' data-logistics.
