3-D TDOA/AOA location based on Extended Kalman Filter

In this paper, we propose a Time Difference Of Arrival/Angle-Of-Arrival (TDOA/AOA) location algorithm based on Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for three-dimension scenario. Azimuth, angle of pitching and TDOA are constructed into a vector model for the EKF, and we can get the location of Mobile Station (MS).
