Preliminary study on multilateration Performance for El Salvador`s international Airport

Abstract

Placement of master stations and receiving stations are localized around San Salvador’s airport for a plausible implementation of a terminal area multilateration scheme, the theoretical performance of the multilateration system is shown with the aid of the horizontal dilution of precision for a synchronization error of 20 ns and 1 ns. The tentative locations for multilateration receiving stations in El Salvador’s international airport offer a good horizontal dilution of precision for different altitudes, especially if a 1 ns synchronization system is chosen, which can benefit the surveillance of El Salvadorian air traffic as we can achieve HDoP values below 6, the obtained theoretical result shows the possibility of multilateration in El Salvador’s international airport. .
