Multilateration(MLAT) is commonly used in civil and military surveillance applications to accurately locate an aircraft, vehicle or stationary emitter. MLAT calculates the TDOA of signals by transmitted aircraft and determines the aircraft's location. With more than four receivers it is possible to estimate the 3D position of the aircraft by calculating the intersection of the resulting hyperbolas and the system integrity. In this study, our objectives are to apply MLAT technique to Jeju terminal control area and to propose a MLAT receiver network to properly estimate the positions of aircraft approaching this area. Based on computer simulations, we determine locations of ground receivers in Jeju terminal control area, calculate estimated position errors of the aircraft with respect to the selected receiver networks, and find the best receiver network with the least position error.
