Trilateration with one unknown distance and two relative distances to the first one

Zones: C Programming Language, Math & Science Questions

Tags: Triangulation, Multilateration, location, TDOA

In the Trilateration example found here, the 3 distances are known because there are 3 beacons and one receiver. We are trying to locate one beacon that is received at 3 known locations A,B and C. So the formula for the 3 distances are:

location C is the first location that receives the signal.

ra=TDOA1+rc;
rb=TDOA2+rc;
rc= unkown;

TDOA means: Time Difference Of Arrival

Does anybody know how i should change the code of the triangulation example to solve this problem?

Thanks!
