Summary:A new harmonic direction‐finding (HDF) system has been designed for the localization of small mobile targets using a radio‐frequency identification (RFID) technique. Thanks to sophisticated electronics and high‐performance filters and antennas, the system has a long range, despite the very small size of the passive tags placed on the targets. This and a very reduced weight are essential requirements for use with living targets such as small animals. Furthermore, it uses inexpensive electronics components and has autonomy on standard rechargeable batteries. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
