1. RF Triangulator: Indoor/Outdoor Location Finding 18-525 Architecture Proposal Giovanni Fonseca David Fu Amir Ghiti Stephen Roos Design Manager: Myron Kwai Overall Project Objective: Design a Radio-Frequency indoor/outdoor navigation system, utilizing the existing wireless infrastructure. Design Stage Objective: Implement structural Verilog description And Floorplanning

2. Status Behavioral complete and tested. Behavioral complete and tested. Structural complete except for floating point unit testing. Structural complete except for floating point unit testing. Began work on schematics. Began work on schematics.

3. Assumptions ► Assume that 12 bit Floating point would be precise for our computations. ► Assume that maps will be provided. ► Local subsections of the map will be loaded into the chip. ► Map data is limited by the capacity of the display device (PDA or cellphone etc).
