We have an application for the tracking of the position of a person in a larger room with little or no hardware carried by the person being tracked. What we would ideally like to do is know the position of the person in a large room (x, y). Beam breaking etc are okay but would require too much hardware. Cameras may be too computationally expensive... So: Can the position of those antenna/diodes used in anti-theft devices in clothing stores be used? Emit a RF pulse and wait for it's chirp? Anyone done this? Know it can/can't be done?
