This is a harder problem than I think you realize. The basic Loc8tor system works primarily by virtue of a directional antenna in the receiver, and it doesn't really give you the position of the tag directly, it just indicates what direction it is from the location of the receiver, along with a very rough estimate of how far away it might be.
If you want to create a mesh of automatic receivers, each of these receivers will need to do direction finding, either mechanically by physically spinning its antenna in a circle, or by using multiple antennas and electrically "spinning" the reception pattern. Neither method is going to be simple to implement or particularly low-power.
It is only by combining direction information from two or more receivers (plus knowing exactly where these receivers themselves are located) will you be able to derive an absolute position for the tag.
When you say "increase efficiency" I assume you mean to maximize the current into "Target" and not waste current into other branches.
1) When "b" is open you don't want current to be wasted going into "a", so place a diode in the upper horizontal wire between "a" and "c", cathode facing "c".
2) When "d" is shorted you don't want current to be wasted going into "c", so place a diode in the vertical line above (or below) "c", cathode facing up.
3) [corrected] When "b" is open AND "d" is shorted you don't want current wasted going into "c" or "a", so you can install both the two diodes from 1) and 2) above.
However if this last question is taken alone, you would place a single diode in the upper horizontal line between "c" and "Target", with cathode facing "Target".
But now considering the whole circuit, including diodes placed in 1) and 2), a third diode might best be placed just to the left of R1, with anode at R1. This would insure that no currents can back up into the line with voltage suppy "g". The usage of this third diode may actually depend on the analysis of the circuit and if the 13A current source "b" is to be taken literally.
[Overall question 3) is a bit unclear as to it being inclusive or not to the first two questions.]
It seems that the circuit was not made to determine the total "circuit analysis" as is, just to determine where to place diodes to improve the circuit in case 1), 2), or 3) happens. Think of the extra power sources as possible battey back-up systems in case of a failure or when a battery goes dead.
