Algorithms Development for Emitter-location Determination Using Un-directional Antennas


Abstract in English

This work discusses the feasibility of applying a small and inexpensive GPS, a Field Strength Meter (FSM) and a personal computer, that can activity and rapidly determine the Geo-locations of RF cooperated emitter, which have a wide range of both military and civilian applications. The emitter’s Geo-coordinates can be estimated by a single moving observation system, which receives signals from the emitter, and measures his Geo-locations and Field Strengths of the transmitted signal at four Positions Analytic Formulas are derived to calculate the location of Emitter, which detected from four Positions by using of Linear Algebra or pseudo range’s solution, The MATLAB was used to solve the four Equations and to simulate the Geo-Positions on Geo-Map.
