MLat

Description

Multilateration (MLat) is a proven technology that has been in use for many decades in both navigation and surveillance applications. It is based on a methodology known as Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) which can be utilised in one of two ways:

• The signal from a mobile unit is measured at a number of known, fixed locations
• The signals from a number of fixed locations are measured by a mobile receiver

The TDOA of the signals at the receiver(s) allows the position of the mobile entity to be determined.
