TS 103 941 [3] and the following apply:
Angle of Arrival (AOA): method used to determine the direction of a radio-frequency wave that hits an antenna array.
It is calculated by measuring the difference in path length between the different elements of the array
NOTE: The location of a transmitter may be found by determining the intersection of multiple paths.
Receiver Baseline Resilience (RBR): capability to maintain a pre-determined minimum acceptable level of
performance in the presence of unwanted signals over the frequency band of operation, applicable adjacent and remote
frequency bands
Receiver Baseline Sensitivity (RBS): capability to receive a wanted signal at application related defined input signal
levels while providing a pre-determined minimum acceptable level of technical performance
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI): measurement of the power of a received radio signal
NOTE: The location of a transmitter can be determined by comparing the strength of the signal received at
multiple known locations.
Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA): method to compare the moment of reception of a single transmission at multiple
synchronized receivers
NOTE: It can be used to compute the location of a transmitter by comparing the difference of arrival time of the
multiple receivers at known locations.
