Method and system for locating signal emitters using cross-correlation with a reconstructed waveform

摘要

A method and system determine a location of a signal emitter. A plurality of sensors each receives a signal transmitted by the signal emitter. One of the received signals is processed to produce a template describing an estimate of the signal transmitted by the signal emitter. The template is cross-correlated with at least some of the signals received at the sensors. At least one cross-correlation feature is identified from each cross-correlation and the cross-correlation features are used to determine the location of the signal emitter.
