A method for determining a location of a wireless transmitting device
transmitting a digitally modulated transmitted radio frequency signal.
The method comprises, at spaced-apart receivers: generating a received
radio frequency signal and including time tags therein responsive to the
transmitted radio frequency signal, detecting a destination message
signal responsive to the received radio frequency signal, comparing the
destination message signal and the received radio frequency signal and
determining a time of arrival of the destination message signal
responsive to the step of comparing and responsive to the time tags. The
method further comprises determining a pairwise time difference of
arrival of the received radio frequency signal for two pairs of receivers
and determining the location of the device responsive to the pairwise
time difference of arrival.
