Abstract: A method and system for location-determination of a mobile comprising of a receiver with a variable processor gain of up to 45.15 dB for detecting signals transmitted from transmitters that at a farther distance as well as from transmitters that are situated in sparsely populated areas. The system also includes a plurality of terrestrially deployed transmitters known as “pseudolites” that broadcast GPS-like signals, and in addition implementing the use of existing, available information from modulated signals, such as phase, amplitude and convolution with pseudorandom codes.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the location of an object. The system may implement a number of sensors at different locations that are positioned to receive a transmitted or reflected signal from the object. Also disclosed is a system and method of calculating object position based upon the time difference of arrival (TDOA) from each sensor, or the relative time difference of arrival (RTDOA). A known distribution of noise is added to the time of arrival (TOA) prior to calculating the object position.
