Signal Triangulation Techniques
Discussions center on using triangulation, trilateration, or multilateration to locate radio signal sources like phones or devices, questioning effectiveness, accuracy, and potential countermeasures.

Would triangulation of the signal not be effective?
Doesn't this triangulation assume the other user is in one location the entire time of manually going to these places to triangulate them?
How does a more sophisticated radio avoid having its position triangulated?
Carriers know where we are, are you referring to triangulation?
Wouldn't they be easy enough to triangulate quite precisely anyway?
How hard is it to simply triangulate the signal and find the exact location of origin?
That's pretty neat! You're basically using ping triangulation!
Possibly more accurate, due to triangulation between multiple towers.
I have no understanding of the physics involved, but could the broadcast location be reverse engineered? (With triangulation and clever math?)
Trilateration, actually. The towers aren't measuring your angle, but your distance.
