System zur Bestimmung der Position eines Objekts

摘要

The invention relates to a system for determining the position of an object, comprising a reference transmitter device (202) disposed in a fixed position. Said reference transmitter device (202) is provided with a reference time supplying unit for supplying a reference time signal that indicates a reference time. The system further comprises at least two transmitter/receiver devices (302) that are disposed in fixed positions with respect to each other and to the reference transmitter device (202). Every transmitter/receiver device (302) is provided with a time-supplying unit for supplying a time signal that indicates a time, a receiver for receiving the reference time signal from the reference transmitter device (202) and a synchronization device for processing the time signal and the reference time signal and for synchronizing the time with the reference time. A positioning device (502) on the object determines the position of the object.
