Short summary
This paper presents a localization concept for fawn saving. Fawns can be saved during pasture mowing by marking them with an active UHF RFID transponder. The system consists of a mowing-machine mounted direction-of-arrival (DOA) system and a handheld DOA device. Only by estimating the DOA one can reliable localize the marked fawns. The whole RFID and DOA system is presented and communication concept is shown.
