Abstract

This paper describes the satellite aided search and rescue system that provides services to save the lives at the distress or emergency regions. COSPAS - SARSAT is a satellite-based system designed to provide distress alert and location data to facilitate SAR operations. The ground receiver named as Local User Terminals (LUTs) is in charge of processing the incoming signal and determining the beacon position via Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) technique. A common method of calculating TDOA and FDOA is the Cross Ambiguity Function (CAF). This paper proposes the implementation of CAF map method, which is a simple method that reduces the processing complexity over CAF method and also as the ability to locate several beacons that eliminates the false location of beacons.
