TIME-DIFFERENCE METHOD OF FINDING COORDINATES OF RADIO SOURCE AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THE METHOD

FIELD: finding coordinates of radio source. ^ SUBSTANCE: as planes of position of radio source the planes are used, which have line of position of radio source, which has to be crossing of two hyperbolic surfaces pf position corresponding to time-difference measurements. Method is based upon reception of signal of radio source by four aerials, on measurement of three differences in time of reception of radio source signal by aerials, which aerials form measuring bases, upon subsequent processing of results of measurements for calculation of values of parameters of position of radio source and for calculating coordinate of radio source as crossing point of three planes of position. Device for realization of the method has four aerials which aerials form three pairs of measuring bases, which bases are disposed in non-coincident planes, three calculators for calculating parameters of position of radio source, calculator of radio source coordinates made in form of unit for solving system of linear equations and indication unit. ^ EFFECT: precise measurement of linear coordinates of object. ^ 2 cl, 8 dwg
