  "term": "Time difference of arrival",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A method for locating a transmitting source by measuring the difference in the arrival times of a signal at multiple spatially separated receivers. Each time difference measurement defines a hyperbola on which the source must lie. The intersection of multiple hyperbolas provides the precise location of the emitter, a technique used in navigation and surveillance systems.",
