Ground receiving station reference pair selection technique for a minimum configuration 3D emitter position estimation multilateration system

Multilateration estimates aircraft position using the Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) with a lateration algorithm. The Position Estimation (PE) accuracy of the lateration algorithm depends on several factors which are the TDOA estimation error, the lateration algorithm approach, the number of depl...
