Abstract
Abstract A phase or time-displacement radionavigation system comprises a terrestrial station (8), satellite stations (10,11) and a mobile receiver (9) which compares signals from the terrestrial station and each satellite to determine respective position lines defining a position fix.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
40 words
A radionavigation system wherein, at a receiver, range-difference measurements are made in response to signals received from a terrestrial station and a satellite so as to provide an indication of a position line passing through the location of the receiver.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
A radionavigation system wherein, at a receiver, range-difference measurements are made in response to signals received from a terrestrial station and a satellite so as to provide an indication of a position line passing through the location of the receiver.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A radionavigation system according to claim 1, and comprising at least one terrestrial station and at least one earth satellite, the receiver being arranged to make respective range-difference measurements in response to signals received from the terrestrial station and each satellite.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A system according to claim 1 or claim 2 in which the terrestrial station provides one signal and each satellite radiates a signal of defined modulation, the receiver being arranged to convert the modulation into a signal which can be compared with the signal from the terrestrial station to determine the position line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
74 words
A receiver for use in a system according to claim 3 and comprising means for receiving a signal from at least one terrestrial station, means for receiving modulated signals from at least one satellite, means for deriving the modulation therefrom, means for converting said modulation into a form where it can be compared with the signal from the terrestrial station, and means for performing the comparison to provide an indication of said position line.
