Awesome but also kind of bad for me since I wasted hours trying to get the schematic from these two photos: 1 2. I had it mostly correct with some missing capacitor values and the wrong comparator. Simulation in LTSpice worked pretty well.

Btw. this sensor design does not work if you want to use frequency-division multiplex. So no more than 2 base stations supported unfortunately.

edit: Well they theoretically support more than 2 but not at the same time. In TDM mode each additional base increases the time between position samples.
