Abstract :
Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) is a useful aeronautical surveillance system which is able to achieve high performance. However, WAM has a drawback in which position errors increase rapidly outside a constellation of receiver stations in principle. One of the solutions for the drawback is to apply a measured range between a receiver station and an aircraft to the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) localization. This paper describes test results of performance evaluation for a WAM experiment system using the measured range.
