A system for location finding of devices and personnel for in-building applications is described. A group of sensors are distributed throughout a region or building of interest where each sensor contains an RF transceiver and an antenna system, with the antenna system capable of generating multiple radiation patterns or modes. The assets to be tracked by the sensors can have RF transceivers associated with each asset, and these transceivers can have antenna systems capable of generating multiple radiation patterns or modes. A system controller containing a processor is integrated into the system and is used to control the sensors and assets.
