Concept for determining an estimated value of a location of a receiving element

Apparatus for determining an estimated value for a location of a receiving element within a reference system which may receive signals of a signal source movable to different measuring positions, it being possible to measure-on the basis of the signals received-localization data which indicate a relative location of the receiving element with respect to the movable signal source, the apparatus being configured to determine the estimated value on the basis of at least two different measuring positions and localization data corresponding thereto by means of an evolutionary algorithm. On the basis of the localization data measured, a fitness function of the evolutionary algorithm is formed, the localization data having an angle of arrival of the received signals on the receiving element, and/or a signal arrival time from which a distance from the signal source may be determined.
