Abstract

The time-optimal technique of spatial localization of the random pulsed-point source that has the uniform distribution density on search interval and indicating itself by generation of the instant impulses (delta functions) at random time points is developed. Localization is carried out by means of the receiver having view window freely reconstructed in time. The created algorithms are generalized to the search carried out by system consisting of several receivers.
