This paper develops an explicit solution that estimates the location of a stationary source using Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) measurements of a signal received by a number of receivers that have random error in their positions. The proposed solution accounts for the error from receiver positions, is algebraic, and does not have convergence problem as in the Taylor-series linearization method. The Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) of the source location estimate in the presence of sensor position error is derived. Simulation results indicate that the proposed solution achieves an accuracy close to the CRLB under Gaussian noise. * He is presently with the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
