A location measurement unit 401 for a radio location measuring system has two or more coupling devices 404,405 for picking up the signals from a plurality of base transceiver stations (BTSs) of a cellular radio communication system. A switching device 510, is connected to the coupling devices, for switching between the signals picked up by the coupling devices and/or one/two or more receivers 510, 610-613 are connected to respective coupling devices, for receiving the signals picked up by the coupling devices. A processor 512, 614 is connected to the or each receiver, for processing the signals output by the receiver. A communications link 513, 615 is connected to the processor, for transferring the processed signals to a calculation node 514.
