More Information
Summary:A new algorithm for Passive Bistatic Radar localization is proposed capitalizing measurements gathered by a colocated active radar and exploiting multiple illuminators of opportunity. Prior information, related to the Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR) receive antenna main-beam size and to the uncertainty characterizing active radar data, is accounted for formalizing ad-hoc constraints for the localization process. Hence, the estimation task is cast as an elliptic positioning problem, according to the constrained Least Squares (LS) framework. The performance of the proposed estimator exhibits sensible improvement with respect to some counterparts.
