ABSTRACT:
Method of locating one or more transmitters on the basis of an array of sensors moving with respect to the transmitters comprising at least the following steps:determining the direction vectors âkcorresponding to the response of the array of sensors to a source with incidence (θ, Δ) as a function of the incidence parameters θ, Δ, and of the parameter ρ related to the distortion of the phases on the sensors,transforming this vector âkso as to eliminate the unknown parameter ρ, into a vector ĉkm, ĉ′km,using the transformed vector to obtain the position of the transmitter using a maximized locating criterion.
