Abstract

See full text

A cellular radiotelephone (24) engages in a call over a bidirectional channel (32) involving a cellsite base station (68) within a cellular network (22). Upon receipt of a notice (46), a geographical location computer (20) is activated and transmits a call locate instruction identifying the bidirectional channel (32) to a plurality of dual channel receivers (56, 58, 60, and 61). The dual channel receivers (56, 58, 60, and 61) are then tuned to the bidirectional channel (32) and receive the forward (78) and reverse (82) location signals over forward and reverse directions of the bidirectional channel (32). A probable location of the cellular radiotelephone (24) is determined by measuring phase differences of the forward (78) and reverse (82) location signals at each of the dual channel receivers (56, 58, 60, and 61).
