Abstract
A pseudolite translator apparatus and method for using a pseudolite translator. In one embodiment, a pseudolite translator includes a receiver which is adapted to receive position information having a first frequency. The position information is transmitted from a pseudolite. In the present embodiment, the first frequency at which the position information is transmitted from the pseudolite is an unlicensed frequency. A frequency converting processor of the translator converts the position information having the first unlicensed frequency to position information having a second frequency. The translator also contains an output unit which is coupled to the frequency converting processor. The output unit is adapted to communicate the position information having the second frequency to a position determining device.
