Patent ID: 10006980

Abstract:
The method for localizing a beacon consists in transmitting, by a first transceiver, an initiation signal, which is received by second and third transceivers, in calculating, by means of said initiation signal, errors between a reference frequency of the first transceiver and reference frequencies of the second and third transceivers, in transmitting, by the beacon, a first pulsed signal, which is received by the first, second and third transceivers, in transmitting, by the first transceiver, a second pulsed signal, which is received by the second and third transceivers, in calculating differences in the times-of-flight of the first and second pulsed signals, each time-of-flight difference being calculated in a time base provided by a local oscillator of the first transceiver by means of reference frequency errors, and in calculating a beacon position by means of the times-of-flight.
