1. A method of transmitting position location signals, the method comprising:

  • defining a plurality (Q) of orthogonal frequencies, wherein each of the Q orthogonal frequencies are separated from one another by a multiple of a fixed frequency spacing (w);

    selecting a first subset of orthogonal frequencies from the plurality of orthogonal frequencies;

    generating a first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) symbol based on the first subset of orthogonal frequencies and substantially orthogonal to a second OFDM symbol generated from a second subset of orthogonal frequencies from the plurality of orthogonal frequencies; and

    transmitting a position location signal containing said first OFDM symbol from a first geographical location distinct from a second geographical location from which the second OFDM symbol is transmitted.
