Low-power devices such as key fobs, cell phones, and wireless routers are commonly used to control Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and as communications nodes for command and control. Quickly locating the source of these signals is difficult, especially in an urban environment where buildings and towers can cause interference. This research presents a geolocation system that combines the attributes of several proven geolocation and error mitigation methods to locate an emitter of interest in an urban environment. The proposed geolocation system uses a Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) technique to estimate the location of the emitter of interest. Using multiple sensors at known locations, TDOA estimates are obtained by cross-correlating the signal received at all the sensors. A Weighted Least Squares (WLS) solution is used to estimate the emitter's location. | Passive Geolocation Of Low-power Emitters In Urban Environments Using Tdoa by Myrna B Montminy, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
