Location of an emitter using leaky cables. A two-channel receiver determines the location of an emitter by measuring the phase and/or amplitude difference between emitter signals received by leaky cables. In one embodiment, two leaky cables having different propagation velocities are used. In a second embodiment also suitable for use with fiber optic cables, two cables having the same propagation velocity are used, but have different lengths, the extra length being taken up by serpentine patterns or loops. A single cable in a loop may also be used. The leak points on the cables may be passive, or may be controlled RF switches.
