Abstract:
A positioning system and method for determination of location data of an object are described. The positioning system includes one or more transmitting units configured to transmit a multi-frequency signal that comprises at least two different signal frequency components. The positioning system also includes a receiver system mounted on the object, and configured to receive the multi-frequency signals from the transmitting units, and to determine phases of each signal frequency component of the multi-frequency signal. The positioning system also includes a processing system configured to receive the phases of each signal frequency component of the multi-frequency signal, and to determine a distance between the transmitting units and the object, and the location data of the object.
Abstract:
A method of communicating information from a sensor concerning a received signal, comprising: responsive to receiving by at least one detecting sensor, during a defined time interval, data indicative of an entire data of a frequency band received by it during the defined time interval, comprising at least one signal emitted at least one emitter, and to detecting of the emitted signal by the at least one detecting sensor, sending from the sensor assistance information corresponding to the detected emitted signal during the defined time interval, to at least one non-detecting sensor. This information can be utilized by the non-detecting sensor to perform an action with respect to data indicative of an entire data of the frequency band received by the non-detecting sensor during a corresponding defined time interval, the action corresponding to at least one emitted signal received by the non-detecting sensor during the corresponding defined time interval.
Abstract:
A method utilizes signals received from the signal source by receivers during respective time intervals and data about a change in positions of the receivers during these time intervals. The method includes applying first processing to each of the signals received by each respective receiver to determine an accumulated phase in the signal during a respective time interval. Applying second processing to determine differential phases differences between the accumulated phases of the signals received by two or more pairs of the receivers. The phases differences are indicative of the difference between the changes of the distances of the respective receivers from the signal source during the respective time intervals. The method includes applying a third processing for determining the location of the signal source such that the relative changes between the positions of the respective receivers relative to the determined location correspond to the distance differences of the phase differences.
