Abstract

See full text

Multiple time-difference-of-arrival units, each having two or more receiver antennas can be used to determine a location of a target transmitter without synchronizing or connecting together the units. Specifically, a clock on each unit can be used to determine a difference of arrival of radio-frequency signals amongst antennas on the units. Each unit's clock can be asynchronous with the clocks on the other units. Target estimation can therefore be achieved easily with limited wiring and the problems associated with synchronization can be reduced or eliminated. The multiple time-difference-of-arrival units can be used in indoor, outdoor (or a combination thereof) applications.
