ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for determining the position of a user terminal comprises receiving, at the user terminal, a broadcast analog television signal comprising a chirp-type signal; and generating a pseudorange based on the chirp-type signal; and wherein the location of the user terminal is determined based on the pseudorange and a location of a transmitter of the broadcast analog television signal.
