Abstract :
Inactive (the vehicle acts merely as a reflector) Doppler acquisition (no assumptions about the vehicle path are required) systems are treated from a mathematical standpoint. It is shown that solutions exist only when the number of ground sites exceeds four and that seven sites are necessary for the 1-reading system. Invariant relations are derived which allow iteration using only the three coordinates of one vehicle location as iterative variables.
