10768269 · 2020-09-08 · ·

Methods for locating electromagnetic pulse emission sources in an environment including reflectors is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes receiving, by a detector, for each source to be located, at least one same emitted pulse, received directly from said source and received by reflection on one of the reflectors. The method also includes identifying direct subsets and reflected subsets, regrouping by pairs of direct subsets with reflected subsets, calculating, for each pair, differences in dates of arrival between the pulses of the reflected subset and the pulses of the direct subset of the pair, and determining the distance of each source from the detector from calculated differences in dates of arrival of the pulses of each pair.
