Abstract

See full text

A locating system includes a receiver for receiving a signal, having parameters, from a source. This locating system includes a database, which includes receiver records. Each receiver record includes (a) a source field, (b) a signal parameter field, (c) a receiver location computed using at least the source field and the signal parameter field. The receiver location computation has an accuracy. The database is indexed by the source field and the signal parameter field. The system includes a processor, which is configured to access the database using the source and signal parameters to find a coarse receiver record including a link to a fine receiver record. The fine receiver record has a better receiver location computation accuracy than the coarse receiver record.
