System and method for determining the position of a transmitting unit and watercraft with a system for determining the position of a transmitting unit

摘要

The invention relates to a system (10) for determining the position of a transmitting unit (1). The system has an arrangement (20) of at least four transmission units (1, 2, 3, 4), wherein a first transmission unit (1) of the at least four transmission units (1, 2, 3, 4) is designed for this, a first transmission signal (11) to send out to each of the three remaining transmission units (2, 3, 4). Each of the three remaining transmission units (2, 3, 4) is designed to receive the first transmission signal (11) and, after receiving the first transmission signal (11), to send back a first response signal (12) to the first transmission unit (1). The first transmitting unit (1) is designed to determine, based on the returned first response signals (12), relative position data of the first transmitting unit (1) with respect to the three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4). The three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4) each have stored position data with respect to nominal positions (1a, 2a, 3a, 4a) of the arrangement (20) of transmitting units (1, 2, 3, 4). The first transmission unit (1) is designed to obtain the stored position data relating to the desired positions (1a, 2a, 3a, 4a) from the three remaining transmission units (2, 3, 4). The first transmitting unit (1) is designed to assign the relative position data determined by the first transmitting unit (1) to the relative position data of a single nominal position (1a) in order to use the assignment to determine the position of the first transmitting unit (1) within the arrangement (20) of transmitting units (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine. The invention further relates to a watercraft (100) having a system for determining the position of a transmitting unit (1) and a method for determining the position of a transmitting unit (1).
