On-line Bias Estimation of Secondary Radar Networks for ATC
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bias estimation is a prerequisite to data fusion in ATC environments. Radar networks and aircraft transponders have different bias terms which should be cancelled in order to perform a correct multisensor tracking. In this paper, several general architectures to overcome these problems will be proposed, taking into account both radar and aircraft biases. Its performance, both in terms of accuracy and in terms of computer load, will be analyzed.

Generic multisensor multitarget bias estimation architecture
Current bias estimation algorithms for air traffic control (ATC) surveillance are focused on radar sensors, but the integration of new sensors (especially automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast and wide area multilateration) demands the extension of traditional procedures. This study describes a generic architecture for bias estimation applicable to multisensor multitarget surveillance syst...
متن کاملComplete Systematic Error Model of SSR for Sensor Registration in ATC Surveillance Networks
In this paper, a complete and rigorous mathematical model for secondary surveillance radar systematic errors (biases) is developed. The model takes into account the physical effects systematically affecting the measurement processes. The azimuth biases are calculated from the physical error of the antenna calibration and the errors of the angle determination dispositive. Distance bias is calcul...
متن کاملCoexistence Test of LTE and Radar Systems
Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar, military Air Traffic Surveillance (ATS) radar and meteorological radar operate in S-Band frequency range. In fact 4G communication systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) make also use of these frequencies. Test and measurement of their coexistence is absolutely essential as performance degradation of mobile devices and networks and even malfunction of ATC rad...
متن کاملA Soft-Input Soft-Output Target Detection Algorithm for Passive Radar
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel scheme for multi-static passive radar processing, based on soft-input soft-output processing and Bayesian sparse estimation. In this scheme, each receiver estimates the probability of target presence based on its received signal and the prior information received from a central processor. The resulting posterior target probabilities are transmitted to the c...
متن کاملComparison of the Gamma kernel and the orthogonal series methods of density estimation
The standard kernel density estimator suffers from a boundary bias issue for probability density function of distributions on the positive real line. The Gamma kernel estimators and orthogonal series estimators are two alternatives which are free of boundary bias. In this paper, a simulation study is conducted to compare small-sample performance of the Gamma kernel estimators and the orthog...
