An object of the present invention is to implement accurate positioning of a mobile communication terminal even in an environment in which delay waves are included in radio waves arriving at the mobile communication terminal from radio wave sources. A positioning server 10 forming a positioning system for estimating a location of a cellular terminal 20 has a distance information acquisition unit 13 for acquiring information indicating distances calculated based on radio waves transmitted and received between a plurality of cellular base stations 30 and the cellular terminal 20; a direction information acquisition unit 14 for acquiring a plurality of pieces of information indicating directions of radio waves received by the cellular terminal 20; a virtual sector calculation unit 15 for calculating for each of the cellular base stations, a range of directions from the cellular base station 30 to the cellular terminal 20 from the information indicating the directions of the radio waves, based on a range calculation rule stored in advance; and a location calculation unit 16 for calculating the location of the cellular terminal 20, based on the distances and the range of directions.
