Page 17: Star 3000 System Overview
The STAR Receiver utilizes classical, fully active, phased array antennas for enabling visibility into the space dimension. The smart array approach adopted by Mojix is fully based on digital processing techniques – thereby providing very high resolution for estimation of direction of arrival of the signal of interest (SOI) which enables the system to provide accurate location information on the tag position. -
