Abstract
: Precise navigation, as a method for guiding vehicles from one point to another, is an important subject these days especially in navigation of aircraft. Global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are capable tools for such a purpose. Any intentional or unintentional interference in satellite signals may cause risks of deadly accidents. Therefore, it is tremendously important to control airports or harbors and locate any existing radio frequency interference device. This localization can be done based on measuring time of arrival (TOA), angle of arrival (AOA), or time difference of arrival (TDOA) of signals from the device to sensors or receivers at some basepoints. In this article, a method is proposed based on these arrivals for optimizing the configuration created by these basepoints from a large grid of points covering a control area. Furthermore, a simulation test was performed to verify the theory, and after that a control network was designed and optimized for the international Landvetter Airport of Sweden. Our simulation studies show that when the AOA is used, our optimization is more robust with respect to the control grid resolution. In addition, optimization based on the TDOA improves the coverage over the control area with a significant reduction of error of control points, but because of the special geometric shape of the Landvetter Airport, such an optimization was not successful.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Surveying Engineering covers the broad spectrum of surveying and mapping activities encountered in modern practice. It includes traditional areas such as construction surveys, control surveys, photogrammetric mapping, engineering layout, deformation measurements, precise alignment, and boundary surveying. It also includes newer development such as satellite positioning; spatial database design, quality assurance, and information management of geographic information systems; computer applications involving modeling, data structures, algorithms, and information processing; digital mapping, coordinate systems, cartographic representations, and the role of surveying engineering professionals in an information society.
