Abstract: A positioning system using a plurality of leaky feeder segments. Besides the segments, the system includes a generator generating a composite GNSS signal formed from GNSS signals defined as those that would be received at points located at the ends of the various segments of the cable. In each segment, a first GNSS signal, corresponding to a first set of satellites visible in a first visibility cone, travels along the segment in a forward direction and a second GNSS signal, corresponding to a second set of satellites in a second visibility cone, travels along it in the reverse direction. The frequencies of the first and second GNSS signals being equal to a frequency of reception of a predetermined GNSS system. An RF interconnection box connecting the first and second consecutive segments allows to demultiplex the GNSS signals on the basis of the composite GNSS signal that it receives.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and a method of positioning along the length of a cable. The positioning system (100) comprises the radiating cable (110), and also GNSS generator (120) generating the first and second GNSS signals, first injection module (131) to inject the first GNSS signals into a first end of the cable, and second injection module to inject the second GNSS signals into the second end of the cable. The first (second) GNSS signals are defined as signals that would be received at a point located at a first (second) virtual end of the cable, in an open sky configuration, from a first (second) set of satellites visible in a first (second) visibility cone.
