Abstract
A method for locating a UWB transmitter, without a previously-set reference, using at least one first set of at least three UWB searching transceivers, including first, second, and third transceivers. The method a) synchronizes the three UWB searching transceivers, arranged at three different points, and estimates the relative position of these three points; b) receives, by the three transceivers, signals transmitted by the transmitter to be located; and c) calculates the relative position, with respect to the three searching transceivers, of the transmitter to be located according to the time of travel of the signals, transmitted by the transmitter to be located, to the three searching transceivers.
