A geographic tracking system (10) with minimal power and size required at the mobile terminal (18) collects observation data at the mobile terminal (18), forwards the data to a processor, which calculates the position. The mobile terminal (18) needs only to gather a few milliseconds of observation data, and to relay this observation data to the processor. The range from the satellite (14-17) (or other airborne transponder) to the terminal is determined using the known positions of an interrogating transmitter and a satellite, and a known terminal delay between the received signal and the transmission of the return signal, and the round trip time. An arc of locations is determined by computing an intersection of a sphere centered at the satellite having a radius given by the calculated range with a model of the Earth's surface.
L'invention concerne un système de repérage géographique (10) exigeant une puissance et une taille minimale au niveau du terminal mobile (18) qui recueille des données d'observation sur le terminal mobile (18) et retransmet ces données au processeur, lequel calcule la position. Le terminal mobile (18) n'a plus qu'à réunir quelques millisecondes de données d'observation et à relayer ces données d'observation au processeur. La portée entre le satellite (14-17) (ou tout autre transporteur de bord) et le terminal est déterminée à l'aide des positions connues d'un émetteur d'interrogation et d'un satellite, d'un retard de terminal connu entre le signal reçu et la transmission du signal de retour et de la durée totale du cycle. Pour déterminer un arc d'emplacements, on calcule, à l'aide d'un modèle de la surface terrestre, l'intersection d'une sphère centrée sur le satellite ayant un rayon donné par la portée calculée surface.
