TDOA

Definition

Difference in arrival time for a specified event at two sensors. Synchronisation, propagation conditions and event identification affect the measurement. The difference alone is not necessarily a unique location. Geometry, environmental assumptions and suitable independent measurements are needed.

Context
Event localisation

For example, an arrival difference between two sensors constrains an event under stated assumptions but need not identify a unique point by itself.
