ALTITUDE ESTIMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for detecting and tracking a target object, including th e calculation of the target object's altitude, is disclosed. During the processing of signals received by a receiver, the system selectively calculates the altitude of the target object from signals modified by an interference effect pattern formed by the signals broadcast by a transmitter , or from the calculation of geometric shapes associated with three or more transmitted and determining the intersection point of those shapes.
