Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009037041A1] The invention relates to a method for increasing the location accuracy for unsynchronized radio subscribers, in which phase evaluation is used to ascertain the position of a transmitter which is to be located. The transmitter to be located and a further transmitter, whose location is known, respectively send a sequence of N signals to at least two receivers, wherein the transmission channel to be used for transmitting a signal is varied, in line with the invention, on the basis of a prescribed, symmetrical hopping scheme. The advantageous characteristics of the hopping scheme and the additional application of the TDOA (time difference of arrival) principle mean that highly accurate location is possible.
