Claim 8:
9. A system for tracking a medical object, the system comprising:
a plurality of radio frequency transceivers that each emit a radio frequency signal at a first respective frequency;
a radio frequency beacon that is attachable to the medical object and that emits a second radio frequency signal at a second respective frequency different than the first respective frequency in response to receiving the radio frequency signal, wherein the radio frequency beacon comprises:
a platform;
a first fixation element that extends substantially orthogonally from the platform; and
a second fixation element that is spaced a distance from the first fixation element and that is tilted relative to the first fixation element; and

a control device in communication with the plurality of radio frequency transceivers, the control device including processing circuitry that determines a location of the medical object in three-dimensional space based at least in part on the second radio frequency signal.
