1. A network device, comprising:
- a transmitter antenna;
a first receiver antenna a first distance from the transmitter antenna and a second receiver antenna a second distance from the transmitter antenna; and
a processing resource and a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions executable by the processing resource to;
transmit, by the transmitter antenna, a wireless signal having a transmit power;
receive, by the first receiver antenna and the second receiver antenna, a reflected signal of the wireless signal, wherein the reflected signal is reflected off of an object;
receive, by the first receiver antenna and the second receiver antenna, a static signal of the wireless signal, wherein the static signal is not reflected off of the object;
process the received static and reflected signals and determine a location of the object, based on the first distance, the second distance, and the transmit power.

Abstract
Examples provide accurate localization of an object by using a network device. Examples include determining distances between transmitter and receiver antennas of a network device, transmitting, by the transmitter antenna, a wireless signal having a transmit power, receiving, by the receiver antennas, a reflected signal that reflects off of an object, receiving, by the receiver antennas, a static signal that does not reflect off of the object, and processing the static and reflected signals and determining the location of the object, based on the distances between the transmitter and the receiver antennas and the transmit power.

11. A method for determining a location of an object, comprising:
-
determining a first distance between a transmitter antenna of a network device and a first receiver antenna of the network device and a second distance between the transmitter antenna and a second receiver antenna of the network device; transmitting, by the transmitter antenna, a wireless signal having the transmit power; receiving, by the first receiver antenna and the second receiver antenna, a reflected signal of the wireless signal, wherein the reflected signal is reflected off of an object; receiving, by the first receiver antenna and the second receiver antenna, a static signal of the wireless signal, wherein the static signal is not reflected off of the object; and processing the received static and reflected signals and determining a location of the object, based on the first distance, the second distance, and the transmit power of the network device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
generating a model to approximate a static signal and a reflected signal to be received by first and second receiver antennas of a network device from a transmitter antenna of the network device, based on a first distance between the transmitter antenna and the first receiver antenna, a second distance between the transmitter antenna and the second receiver antenna, and a transmit power of a wireless signal to be transmitted by the transmitter antenna. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
