Patent ID: 8436768

Claim:
A diversity receiver, comprising: a first receiver subsystem comprising a terrestrial broadcast receiver; a common processor platform (CPP) coupled via first link means to the first receiver subsystem, wherein the first receiver subsystem provides a stable time reference and position information to the CPP via the first link means; second link means for coupling the diversity receiver to a sensor platform of a wireless location system (WLS) and providing time and frequency references and location data to said sensor platform; a second receiver subsystem comprising a GNSS receiver operatively coupled via third link means to said CPP; and a reference oscillator operatively coupled to the CPP, wherein the CPP is configured to discipline the reference oscillator and the reference oscillator is configured to provide a stable frequency reference to the CPP; wherein the time and frequency references provided via the second link means are usable to synchronize the sensor platform with other sensor platforms of the WLS.
