A Direct Position Determination Method for Four-station TDOA Location System

Aiming at the four-station networked TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) localization system, a direct location method based on electronic elevation map search is proposed, the Geometric Dilution Precision (GDOP) is derived, and the factors affecting the location accuracy are analyzed. The location method under real conditions is also simulated, and its feasibility is demonstrated, which provides a new engineering method for networked TDOA location.
