For TDOA location technology, then mainly sent signal by two transmitting nodes simultaneously, logical Cross measure two signals arrive targets time difference carry out computed range.Specific implementation is as follows:
TDOA arrives the time being positioned target by the radio signal measuring different transmitting node Difference, positions target.According to known spread speed, directly time difference be converted into away from Deviation.As in figure 2 it is shown, transmitting node P1 and P2 is P to the range difference of target T1,2Time, mesh The position of mark T can be with P1, P2 as focus and bifocal range difference is constant P1,2Hyperbolic On line.Transmitting node P1 and P3 is P to the range difference of target T2,3Time, the position meeting of target T With with P2, P3 as focus and bifocal range difference is for constant P2,3Hyperbola on.By two Group or many group hyperbolies intersect, it is estimated that the position of target, as in figure 2 it is shown, due to away from Deviation should be on the occasion of, should fall at the interval curve of X positive axis so organizing hyp intersection point more On, intersection point T meets the requirements, and therefore, T is target location.
