A method using an array of ESM receivers comprises; a step of determining a first locus on the basis of a first measurement giving information on the angle difference of arrival of the emission beam on two receivers, the first locus including the points in space giving the same first measurement on the two receivers; a step of determining a second locus on the basis of a second measurement giving information on the direction of arrival on at least one receiver, the second locus including the points in space giving the same second measurement on the receiver; and a step of determining a third locus on which the position of the source is found, the third locus being the intersection of the first locus and of the second locus.
