Patent ID: 7986271

Claim:
A method for tracking personnel at a scene, the method comprising: transmitting a stimulus signal to a target wireless emitter of a person to be tracked using a known physical address associated with that target wireless emitter to stimulate a response signal from the target wireless emitter; measuring one or more response signal parameters for each of Y antenna patterns, thereby providing a Y sample array of response data from the target wireless emitter, wherein Y is greater than 1; correlating the sample array to a plurality of entries in a database of calibrated arrays having known azimuths, to determine a line of bearing (LOB) to the target wireless emitter; repeating the transmitting, measuring and correlating to determine one or more additional LOBs to the target wireless emitter, each LOB computed from a different geographic location; and geolocating the target wireless emitter based on the LOBs, thereby geolocating the person.
