Claim 7:
8. A device for locating an object in a plane, the object transmitting radio signals to a plurality of reception antennas positioned in the plane, the reception antennas each being positioned in a predefined zone of the plane containing a single antenna and the antennas each being combined with a reception device configured to deliver at least one item of information representingthe transmission of said signals from the object to said antenna, the location device comprising:
a database comprising, for each position among a plurality of known positions of the object in the plane, at least one item of information representingthe transmission of said signals from the object to each of the antennas, the position of the object in the form of coordinates (X, Y) in the plane, and an identifier of a zone comprising said position among a plurality of zones of the plane,
a reception interface configured to receive at least one item of information representingthe transmission of signals from the object to each of the antennas in the plurality of antennas,
a classifier configured to determine, from all the information representing the transmission of the signals between the object and each antenna, a probability of location of the object in each of the zones of the plane,
a neural network for determining, for the zone for which the probability of location of the object is the highest, the position of the object in the form of coordinates in the plane,
wherein the plane is divided into zones by using a discrete set of points defined in the plane by the respective positions of the reception antennas.
