  2. Trilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration

    Trilateration in three-dimensional geometry Intersection point of three pseudo-ranges. Trilateration is the use of distances (or "ranges") for determining the unknown position coordinates of a point of interest, often around Earth (geopositioning). [1] When more than three distances are involved, it may be called multilateration, for emphasis.

  3. Pseudo-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-range_multilateration

    Pseudo-range multilateration, often simply multilateration (MLAT) when in context, is a technique for determining the position of an unknown point, such as a vehicle, based on measurement of biased times of flight (TOFs) of energy waves traveling between the vehicle and multiple stations at known locations.

  4. Trilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral

    Trilateration, a method for determining the intersections of three sphere surfaces given the centers and radii of the three spheres. Egyptian triliteral signs are symbols which represent a specific sequence of three consonants, also vowels and consonants, in the language.

  5. True-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True-range_multilateration

    There is no accepted or widely-used general term for what is termed true-range multilateration here . That name is selected because it: (a) is an accurate description and partially familiar terminology (multilateration is often used in this context); (b) avoids specifying the number of ranges involved (as does, e.g., range-range; (c) avoids implying an application (as do, e.g., DME/DME ...

  6. Satellite geodesy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_geodesy

    The principle of location is based on trilateration. Each satellite transmits a precise ephemeris with information on its own position and a message containing the exact time of transmission. The receiver compares this time of transmission with its own clock at the time of reception and multiplies the difference by the speed of light to obtain ...

  7. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    Measuring the height of a building with an inclinometer. Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and, in the military, the gun direction, the trajectory and distribution of fire power of weapons.

  8. Pseudorange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorange

    The pseudorange (from pseudo-and range) is the pseudo distance between a satellite and a navigation satellite receiver (see GNSS positioning calculation), for instance Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers.

  9. Transponder landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_Landing_System

    After receiving a response, TLS determines the aircraft's location using three sets of antenna arrays: one for horizontal position using monopulse techniques, the other for vertical monopulse [1] and a third for trilateration. TLS then calculates the position of all aircraft using the transponder replies and converts that into real-time ...
