A wireless communications system may include a plurality of wireless
communications devices and a wireless device locator. More particularly,
the wireless device locator may include at least one antenna and a
transceiver connected thereto, and a controller for cooperating with the
transceiver for transmitting a plurality of location finding signals to a
target wireless communications device from among the plurality thereof.
The target device may transmit a respective reply signal for each of the
location finding signals. Additionally, the controller may also cooperate
with the transceiver for receiving the reply signals, and it may
determine a propagation delay associated with the transmission of each
location finding signal and the respective reply signal therefor based
upon a known device latency of the target device. As such, the controller
may estimate a range to the target device based upon a plurality of
determined propagation delays.
