Abstract: Bearing rate of change, or equivalently bearing differences, are used to estimate emitter geolocation, in contrast to using such rates or differences to estimate only range. In using the bearing differences, it is not necessary to maintain the same relative bearing to compensate for DOA dependent errors. Nor does the invention require a precise fully resolved and calibrated interferometer to generate DF measurements. Furthermore, it can be used with currently implemented amplitude DF systems that employ no phase interferometry at all. By making minimal changes, these systems will produce accurate geolocation. The invention will also work with any system that can be modified to produce an accurate bearing rate-of-change. Therefore, it can be used with time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) systems also. If bearing measurements are also produced by such systems, the magnitude of the bias on that bearing measurement is not important.
