Abstract
A positioning system (10) for determining location information of/for a mobile radio transmitter (1) comprises an antenna system (2) which includes a plurality of antennas (21) aimed at different directions and arranged on one common antenna carrier (20). The positioning system (10) comprises a receiver system (3) electrically connected to the antennas (21) and configured to receive via each of the antennas (21) a radio signal (7) transmitted by the mobile radio transmitter (1). The positioning system (10) further comprises a processing circuit (4) electrically connected to the receiver system (3) and configured to calculate the location information of/for the mobile radio transmitter (1) based on the radio signal received at each of the antennas (21). The location information includes at least angular direction of the mobile radio transmitter (1) with respect to the antenna system (2).
