Abstract
An electrostatic discharge locating system may include a plurality of receivers and a central unit. Each receiver may include an antenna. The receivers may receive radio wave signals emanating from an electrostatic discharge event and transmit the signals to the central unit for processing. The central unit may determine the location of an electrostatic discharge event from the relative time of signal reception or the signal amplitudes along with predetermined locations of the receivers.
