Abstract

This paper presents a design concept and implementation of an indoor passive tracking system that utilises an array of Wi-Fi transceivers, and without any electronic device or tag attached to the object being tracked. Such tracking is made possible by exploiting the fundamental characteristic of signal attenuation due to object blocking, i.e. shadowing, that is prevalent in a typical wireless communication system.
