LOCATING ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNAL SOURCES
First Claim
1. A method of estimating the location of a plurality of electromagnetic signal sources, comprising:
- scanning at a first plurality of locations to generate signal source position data, the signal source position data representing estimates of the position of one or more said signal sources;
scanning at a second plurality of locations using a signal detection system to generate signal detection data, the signal detection data relating to signals received at the second plurality of locations from the signal sources;
processing the signal source position data in dependence on the signal detection data to correct estimation errors in the signal source position data; and
outputting the processed signal source position data.
