ABSTRACT:
The position of a mobile gaming object within a video gaming environment is determined using at least one combined Radio Frequency (RF) signal. Each combined RF signal includes at least a pair of RF signals that have a known relationship therebetween. Based on signal information representative of properties of the combined RF signal as received and the known relationship, respective distances between the mobile gaming object and a plurality of transmitter/receivers can be determined. The position of the mobile gaming object within the video gaming environment is then determined from the distances.
