A simple hyperbolic positioning method without solving simultaneous quadratic equations was proposed and the mathematical concept of a pencil was introduced. The study focused on intersection calculations of hyperbolas and compared different methods regarding correctness, accuracy, and speed of positioning.
We proposed a simple hyperbolic positioning method that does not require solving simultaneous quadratic equations. Moreover, we introduced the mathematical concept of a pencil into analytical calculations in the hyperbolic positioning method for a better understanding. In many recent studies using positioning biotelemetry, the specific procedure for intersection calculation of hyperbolas has rarely been described. This might be one of two major obstacles, with the other being clock synchronisation among receivers, for positioning biotelemetry users, including potential users. We focus only on the intersection calculation in this paper. Therefore, we propose a novel method and introduce the mathematical concept into analytical calculations. The computing performances of the novel method, an analytical method applying the concept of a pencil, and an approximating method using the Newton-Raphson method were compared regarding positioning correctness, accuracy, and calculation speed. In the novel method, hyperbolas were represented using the parameter theta, which was treated as a discrete variant. The finer the tick-width of the parameter theta, the more accurate was its positioning, but it took slightly longer to calculate. By setting the tick-width to 0.01 degrees, a simulated trajectory was correctly and accurately localised, as in the analytical method which always correctly returned the accurate solution. The approximating method has a major limitation concerning correctness. It returns a single solution regardless of two intersections of hyperbolas; however, the positioning is accurate when the hyperbolas intersect at a single point. This study approached one major difficulty in positioning biotelemetry and will help biotelemetry users overcome this drawback with a simple and intuitive understanding of hyperbolic positioning.
