LOL!
Do you understand what it would take for a vhf signal to offer range information?
I’m quite sure that you do not, but here it is:
It would have to be generating a coded signal in addition to the data transmission, and in addition to that, a precise time signal would also have to be received and identified by at least 3, and preferably four receivers of precisely known position.
Code phase measurement is something I use constantly, and it is easy to see when someone hasn’t the slightest clue of what is involved. The vhf transmitter on the plane sends a very limited data signal that definitely does not contain a constant code rhythm.

Save the BS — you are wrong
Okay, here’s a simple question for you. If the plane was to ping at exactly 8:11 and the satellite picked up the ping at 8:11 + x seconds, could a genius like you determine how far away from the satellite the ping occurred (without needing a vhf signal and four receivers).
I don’t know if that’s how they determined distance. I do know that they claimed to be able to determine distance, however, and did so as indicated by the arc.
Here’s a question for you: What exactly do you thing the arcs mean then?
