Abstract
We consider the problem of estimating the location of an emitter on the Earth surface based on signals received by a ground terminal from two geostationary satellites. Coordinates of the emitter are computed using differential time-of-arrival and differential Doppler shift of received signals. Our main purpose is mathematical analysis of statistical problems that arise in estimating these parameters.
