3-D emitter localization using inhomogeneous bistatic scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this work is to establish how a moving emitter can be localized by a passive receiver using inhomogeneous bistatic scattering. This is a novel localization technique that assumes no a priori knowledge of the location of the reflecting sources. The emitter parameters of range, heading, velocity, and altitude are estimated and the variances of the estimates are determined. The proposed estimator is successfully demonstrated using field data collected at White Sands Missile Range during the DARPA/Navy Mountaintop program

Passive localization of moving emitters using out-of-plane multipath
The purpose of this work is to establish how a moving emitter can be localized by a passive receiver through the use of out-of-plane multipath signals reflected by the terrain. This is a novel localization technique that assumes no a priori knowledge of the location of the multipath sources. The emitter parameters of range, heading, velocity, and altitude are estimated by exploiting the correla...
متن کاملPreliminary Electromagnetic Simulations of Radar Scattering from the Lunar Surface as Applied to Mini-rf Observations
Introduction: Bistatic radar measurements of the lunar surface are being carried out by the Mini-RF team using Arecibo as a transmitter, cf. Fig. 1. The resulting radar images – the first to be collected at non-zero bistatic phase angle β (between source and receiver) – are being studied extensively to test the hypothesis that water ice resides inside permanently shadowed and perhaps other very...
متن کاملPhoton scattering by a three-level emitter in a one-dimensional waveguide
We discuss the scattering of photons from a three-level emitter in a one-dimensional waveguide, where the transport is governed by the interference of spontaneously emitted and directly transmitted waves. The scattering problem is solved in closed form for different level structures. Several possible applications are discussed: the state of the emitter can be switched deterministically by Raman...
متن کاملGTD-based Scattering Models for Bistatic SAR
This paper discusses development of physics-based models for bistatic scattering. We generalize parametric equations for monostatic scattering mechanisms in a plane to achieve analogous bistatic approximations. Combination of these mechanisms, as separable azimuth and elevation components, allows 3-D modelling of six scattering primitives: sphere, tophat, trihedral, dihedral, cylinder, and flat...
متن کاملBistatic Scattering from Two-dimensional Dielectric Ocean Rough Surface with a Pec Object Partially Embedded by Using the G- Smcg Method
An efficient approach called general sparse matrix canonical grid (G-SMCG) method is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from 2-D dielectric rough surface with a conducting object partially buried. In this paper, the scattering of 3-D arbitrarily shaped object is computed by using the traditional method of moments (MoM) with RWG basis function, and the scattering of rough surface...
