摘要：A multilateration system estimates the position of emitter using time difference ofarrival (TDOA) measurements with a lateration algorithm. It involves solving a set ofhyperbolic plane equations to determine the position of the emitter given the TDOAmeasurements that corresponds to the path difference (PD) measurement in distance. Aperformance model is developed using the relative maximum error bound (RMEB) whichrelates the plane equation condition number, the relative ground receiving station (GRS)geometry and the PD measurement error to estimate the position estimation (PE) error. Byusing air traffic monitoring for civil aviation as an application, Monte Carlo simulationverifies the PE error of the performance model for a square GRS configuration. The coverageassumed a 3600 bearing, a range of up to 200 km and a maximum altitude of 15 km.Simulation results also show that the performance model estimates the horizontal positionerror with a maximum absolute error of 0.1 km up to a range of 200 km at an altitude of 15km and a minimum absolute error of 0.2 km at an altitude of 15 km.
