Uses cost efficient (TDOA) Time-Difference-Of-Arrival methods
ERLANGEN, Germany--(Business Wire)--
IZT GmbH, a leading provider of digital signal processing equipment for RF
signals, announced today the introduction of software for radio location finding
for both commercial and military applications using IZT's successful IZT R3000
receiver series. The software resides on a central station and connects multiple
IZT R3000 receivers in different remote locations. Comparing their receive
signals results in accurate delay measurements which are then used to derive the
location of the signal's source. The result is displayed on a map. Efficient
algorithms reduce the amount of data that has to be transferred between the
central station and the remote receivers, permitting the use of slower wireless
connections between the remote receivers and the central station. 

"The new software allows our customers to add location finding capabilities to
their monitoring stations at significantly lower cost compared to other
direction finding systems on the market", said Rainer Perthold, General Manager
of IZT. "This TDOA system can provide accurate measurements even in difficult RF
environments making use of our IZT R3000 receiver series' excellent large signal
performance".
