Emitter locating performance analysis for multilateration system
Multilateration or time-delay of arrival estimation can provide three dimensional (3D) emitter locating suitable for airborne targets. This is an advantage over AOA based methods which could provide only two dimensional (2D) emitter locating. The performance of the multilateration for 3D emitter loc...
