Abstract: The invention relates to a method for locating a signal transmitter whose position is unknown, by the use of signal receivers which are synchronized with each other to a common time reference and whose positions are known, comprising: a step of multilateration by time difference of arrival, which is done with the signals sent by the transmitter with unknown position and respectively received by the receivers, characterized in that: said step of multilateration by time difference of arrival is preceded by a step of evaluation of the time offsets between the values from the common time reference respectively known by the receivers, and said step of multilateration by time difference of arrival is done by correcting said temporal offsets so as to reset the receivers to said same common time reference value.
