This paper presents an indoor location system. The system is comprised of a RFID reader and several low-power active RFID tags.This designed active RFID tag consists of an ultra low power micro-controller, a low power RF transceiver, micro-strip antenna and an on-board battery. The indoor location system uses a RSSI-based ranging technology location algorithm. The experimental results show that the system is a good location system of high precision. And thanks to the advantage of these low-power active RFID tags, this system can be implemented simply for different applications.
