Methods And Apparatus For High Resolution Positioning

US Patent:
7292189, Nov 6, 2007
Filed:
Sep 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/223079
Inventors:
John A. Orr - Holden MA, US
William R. Michalson - Charlton MA, US
David Cyganski - Holden MA, US
R. James Duckworth - Shrewsbury MA, US
Assignee:
Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Worcester MA
International Classification:
G01S 3/02
US Classification:
342465, 342387
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of signal analysis that determines the location of a transmitter and to devices that implement the method. The method includes receiving by at least three receivers, from a transmitter, a first continuous-time signal having a first channel. The first channel includes a first plurality of signal carriers having known relative initial phases and having known frequencies which are periodically spaced and which are orthogonal to one another within a first frequency range. The signal analysis method also includes determining the phase shifts of the carriers of the first channel resulting from the distance the carriers traveled in reaching the first receiver. Analysis of the phase shifts yields time difference of arrival information amongst the receivers, which is further processed to determine the location of the transmitter.

12/664844
Inventors:
David Cyganski - Holden MA, US
R. James Duckworth - Shrewsbury MA, US
John A. Orr - Holden MA, US
William R. Michalson - Charlton MA, US
Assignee:
Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Worcester MA
International Classification:
G08B 5/22
