In this work, we have analysed a novel antenna array setup that will utilise frequency diversity to improve the performance of received signal strength (RSS) based geolocation techniques. Signal attenuation and fading properties are better mitigated when a communication channel is split into smaller sub carriers that exhibit orthogonality or independence. This analysis also includes the RSS range estimation in normal single carrier systems and multi carrier systems. This research can vastly improve current passive cell tower geolocation techniques that hinge on range estimation. This can vastly improve services like emergency rescue, tracking applications and location-based marketing where GPS is not available or applicable.
