  • Patent number: 10330769
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for geolocating emitters in a multi-emitter environment is disclosed. A number of lines of bearing (LOBs) associated with emitters of particular signal characteristics are determined, and a peak where the greatest number of such LOBs intersect is identified. A group of the LOBs that are within a distance threshold of the identified peak identified and used to locate a first emitter. The first group of LOBs are then excluded from consideration, facilitating the easier identification of a second peak where the greatest number of residual LOBs intersect. Residual LOBs within a threshold distance of the second peak are identified, and used to identify the second emitter, and the process is repeated until satisfactory results are obtained.
