Abstract
Methods and apparatus to determine nearfield localization using phase and received signal strength indication (RSSI) diversity are disclosed. An example method includes determining a first strength of an electric field and a second strength of a magnetic field, the electric field and the magnetic field associated with an electromagnetic signal sent from a transmitter; determining a difference between the first strength and the second strength; and determining a transmitter distance based on the difference between the first strength and the second strength.
