ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing geolocation ambiguity in signal tracking. The method and apparatus generally include acquiring a first and a second set of geolocations and comparing the sets to reduce ambiguous geolocations. Such a configuration enables accurate and rapid geolocation determination without requiring complex and time-consuming direction finding devices and methods.
