The location of the interference source is determined through the intersection of the TDOA lines of position (LOP). However, when the two TDOA LOP have two mirrored intersection points, it is theoretically difficult to determine the real location. Aiming at this problem, a method for eliminating mirrored location based on multiple moment TDOA is proposed in this paper. First, the TDOA results are measured at multiple moments using the cross-ambiguity function (CAF), and the localization equation set is established based on the World Geodetic System (WGS)-84 earth ellipsoid model. Then, the initial location result can be obtained by solving the equation set through the Newton iteration method. Finally, the high-precision location result after eliminating the mirrored location is obtained after the single moment localization based on the initial location. Simulation experiments and real measured data processing results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. It still has good robustness under the condition of large measurement errors and deviations from the prior initial values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21134483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,1]],"date-time":"2021-07-01T02:44:39Z","timestamp":1625107479000},"page":"4483","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Tri-Satellite Interference Source Localization Method for Eliminating Mirrored Location"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5397-8078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lihuan","family":"Huo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The 54th Research Institute of CETC, Shijiazhuang 050081, China"},{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Spectrum Cognition and Control (ESCC), Shijiazhuang 050081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rulong","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The 54th Research Institute of CETC, Shijiazhuang 050081, China"},{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Spectrum Cognition and Control (ESCC), Shijiazhuang 050081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Man","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The 54th Research Institute of CETC, Shijiazhuang 050081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The 54th Research Institute of CETC, Shijiazhuang 050081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianfeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The 54th Research Institute of CETC, Shijiazhuang 050081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Penghui","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guisheng","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1318","DOI":"10.1109\/JPROC.2016.2530814","article-title":"Interference Localization for Satellite Navigation Systems","volume":"104","author":"Dempster","year":"2016","journal-title":"Proc.
