Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)

Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) is a method used to determine the location of a signal source by measuring the time it takes for a signal, like sound or radio waves, to reach multiple receivers. By comparing the arrival times at different locations, you can calculate where the signal originated. This technique is commonly used in various fields, such as telecommunications, navigation, and locating emergency calls. By analyzing the differences in arrival times, it helps triangulate the position of the source accurately without needing to know the exact distance to each receiver.
