A location system includes a plurality of beacon transmitters each positioned at a respective location. Each beacon transmitter includes a plurality of antennas positioned in a circular arrangement. Each beacon transmitter is configured to transmit an identification signal having a plurality of reference data and to transmit a directional signal from the plurality of antennas by selecting one of the antennas at a time in sequence around the circular arrangement to simulate a rotating antenna. The location system further includes a receiver configured to receive the identification signals and a plurality of Doppler-shifted directional signals each corresponding to one of the directional signals, wherein the receiver is configured to generate a plurality of time data for each received Doppler-shifted directional signal, and wherein the receiver is configured to determine a location of the receiver using each received Doppler-shifted directional signal, each time data, and each identification signal.
