Physical Restrictions
Measurement of propagation parameters is generally heavily loaded with various noise components. Such noise may be stochastic or deterministic or a mixture of noises with limited bandwidth .
As with all wireless systems, qualities of measurement in any one aspect contradict to qualities in some other aspects:
- Especially extension of reach collides with reducing the separation limits.
- Also increase of probing duration collides with motion speed.
- Generally the requirement for unambiguous locating requires a set of measured distances.
Such contracdictions result in challenges for systems performance and in hard restrictions concerning timely parallel availability of certain quality levels. Facing limitations as inevitable, the implementer of a locating systems has to determine the operational requirements first and then has to make a choice under a set of alternatives and must scale the adjoint limitations. The outcome is always a compromise with trade offs usually in budgetary effort and in technical precision. Any chosen alternative generally will exclude certain other technical options from operational availability.

Famous quotes containing the word physical:
“One of the most horrible, yet most important, discoveries of our age has been that, if you really wish to destroy a person and turn him into an automaton, the surest method is not physical torture, in the strict sense, but simply to keep him awake, i.e., in an existential relation to life without intermission.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
