Performance Analysis of Passive Emitter Tracking using TDOA, AOA and FDOA Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates passive emitter tracking using a combination of Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) measurements with further different types of measurements. The measurements are gained by exploiting the signal impinging from an unknown moving emitter. First, a combined set of TDOA and Angle of Arrival (AOA) measurements is processed using the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE). Then, a Gaussian Mixture (GM) filter is used to solve the tracking problem based on TDOA and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) measurements. In Monte Carlo simulations, the superior performance of the combined methods in contrast to the single TDOA approach is shown and compared with the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB).

Performance Analysis of Tdoa/fdoa Estimation for Fm Communication Signals
A study on emitter localization using time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) measurements has been increased recently. A TDOA/FDOA system generally consists of two parts: TDOA/FDOA estimation from the unknown received signal (extraction part) and position estimation of the emitter (localization part). Thus, it is important to accurately estimate TDOA and FD...

Passive geo-location of communication emitters provides great benefits to military and civilian surveillance and security operations. Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) measurement combination for stationary emitters may be obtained by sensors mounted on mobile platforms, for example on a pair of UAVs. Complex Ambiguity Function (CAF) of received comple...

The Complex Ambiguity Function (CAF) used in emitter location measurement is a 2-dimensional complex-valued function of time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) and frequency-difference-of-arrival (FDOA). In classical TDOA/FDOA systems, pairs of sensors share data (using compression) to compute the CAF, which is then used to estimate the TDOA/FDOA for each pair; the sets of TDOA/FDOA measurements are ...
متن کاملA Hybrid Algorithm of Source Localization Based on Hyperbolic Technique in WSN
Electromagnetic (EM) source localization has become a vital issue lately to improve civilian safety, increase the military security and mitigate the disaster effect. The localization is embedded in battle-field surveillance, traffic alert, emergency call 911 (E911), resource allocation and mitigation of disaster effect. The location of the emitter can be determined by bestowing its transmitted ...
متن کاملSignal Emitter Localization Using Telemetry Assets
Telemetry ground stations spread over geographically diverse areas are well suited for use in passively locating the source of a distant transmitted signal. In a favorable positioning of receive sites, the accuracy of these passive localization techniques can compete with the accuracy of radars. In these cases, use of receive only assets is a less expensive alternative than the use of a radar’s...
