Purpose The passive source localization (PSL) problem using angles of arrival (AOA), time differences of arrival (TDOA) or gain ratios of arrival (GROA) is generally nonlinear and nontrival. In this research, the purpose of this paper is to design an accurate hybrid source localization approach to solve the PSL problem. The inspiration is drawn from the fact that the bearings, TDOAs and GROAs are complementary in terms of their geometry properties. Design/methodology/approach The maximum-likelihood (ML) method is reexamined by using hybrid measurements. Being assisted by the bearings, a new hybrid weighted least-squares (WLS) method is then proposed by jointly utilizing the bearing, TDOA and GROA measurements. Findings Theoretical performance analysis illustrates that the mean-square error of the ML or WLS method can attain the Cramer-Rao lower bound for Gaussian noise over small error region. However, the WLS method has much lower computational complexity than the ML algorithm. Compared with the AOA-only, TDOA-only, AOA-TDOA, TDOA-GROA methods, the localization accuracy can be greatly improved by combining the AOAs, TDOAs and GROAs, especially for some specific geometries. Originality/value A novel bearing-assisted TDOA-GROA method is proposed for source localization, and a new hybrid WLS estimator is presented inspired from the fact that the bearings, TDOAs and GROAs are complementary in terms of their geometry properties.
