Abstract
Avalanche transceiver, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for identifying a location of a victim buried in an avalanche includes: emitting a signal by a transmitting transceiver of the victim; receiving the signal by a receiving transceiver; and identifying an orientation from the receiving transceiver to the victim based on constructing a straight line from the receiving transceiver to the transmitting transceiver.
Claims25
A method for identifying a location of a victim buried in an avalanche, the method comprising:
- emitting a signal by a transmitting transceiver of the victim;
- receiving the signal by a receiving transceiver;
- and
- identifying an orientation from the receiving transceiver to the victim based on constructing a straight line from the receiving transceiver to the transmitting transceiver.
A system for identifying a location of a victim buried in an avalanche, the system comprising:
- a transmitting transceiver attached to the victim, wherein the transmitting transceiver is configured for emitting a signal;
- and
- a receiving transceiver attached to a searcher and configured for receiving the signal,
- wherein the receiving transceiver comprises a controller configured to identify an orientation from the receiving transceiver to the transmitting transceiver of the victim based on determining a straight line from the receiving transceiver to the transmitting transceiver.
