Method for geolocation of a radio signal transmitter by a flying machine and associated geolocation system

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for geolocation of a transmitter (13) of radio signals by a flying machine (10) towing a line antenna (20). ) defining in each position of the flying object (10) a position of its phase center and an antenna axis. The method comprising the steps of receiving radio signals from a transmitter (13) and estimating at each position, the angle between the direction of arrival of the radio signals from the transmitter (13) and the axis d 'corresponding antenna, to obtain an estimated angular value, and estimating the position of the transmitter (13) from all the estimated angular values corresponding to the corresponding positions of the flying machine (10), to the positions phase centers and corresponding antenna axes.
