Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009133400A1] An apparatus and method for determining the location of an rf source (20) are described. An rf signal from the rf source (20) is received at a plurality of receivers (10), the receivers (10) being located apart from one another such as in a mobile ad-hoc network. Each receiver (10) determines characteristic information of the received signal, while also determining its position. The characteristic information and position information of each receiver (10) are sent to a controller (30). The controller (30) operates to determine the location of the rf source (20) based on the supplied characteristic information and position information.
