Abstract: A radio frequency locator system and method. First, second and third reference devices are operable to transmit a plurality of spread spectrum chirp signals frequency offset from one another. An object device is operable to receive the plurality of spread spectrum chirp signals, the object device is further operable to evaluate the received plurality of spread spectrum chirp signals for relative phase shifts between the plurality of spread spectrum chirp signals and derive a fine propagation time between the reference devices and the object device using the phase shifts between the spread spectrum chirp signals. The reference devices determine their location independent of the object device and determine the location of the object device as a function of each of their locations and of their range to the object device.

Abstract: In one embodiment a method for suppressing narrowband interference in an RF signal is provided. The method includes providing a block of baseband digital samples of the RF signal and computing n-1 stages of an n stage fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the block of the baseband digital samples to produce a first block of intermediate data points. A final threshold is computed based on values of the intermediate data points. A final stage of the n stage FFT is computed from the first block of intermediate data points to produce a block of output data points, and the output data points that have an energy above the final threshold are attenuated.

Abstract: A system comprises a target node having an unknown location and at least three reference nodes within communication range of the target node. Each of the reference nodes has a known location. At least one of the reference nodes is configured to initiate a two-way time of flight transaction with one or more of the other reference nodes by transmitting a respective request to the one or more other reference nodes. Each of the reference nodes is configured to transmit a reply in response to a received request. The target node is configured to observe the request and reply of each two-way time of flight transaction and to determine a respective time differential between when the target node received each respective request and its corresponding reply of each observed two-way time of flight transaction.
