Abstract
A method and apparatus for signal tracking utilizing a universal algorithm is disclosed. The method and apparatus generally include acquiring a signal measurement corresponding to a signal, forming a measurement matrix utilizing the acquired signal measurement, and applying the measurement matrix to a recursive filter to determine a geolocation of the signal. Such a configuration enables geolocations to be determined utilizing any signal measurement or combination of signal measurements to eliminate the need to rely on a particular static combination of signal measurements.
