Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for signal tracking utilizing a universal algorithm. The method and apparatus generally include acquiring a signal measurement corresponding to a signal emitted from an emitter, forming a measurement matrix utilizing the acquired signal measurement, and applying the measurement matrix to a recursive filter to determine a velocity and/or geolocation of the signal emitter. Such a configuration enables velocities and geolocations to be determined utilizing any signal measurement or combination of signal measurements to eliminate the need to rely on a particular static combination of signal measurements.
