- Abstract
This paper presents a simple and fast closed-form solution approach for two-dimensional (2D) target localization using range difference (RD) measurements. The formulation of the localization problem is derived using a pentagram array. The target position is determined using passive radar measurements (RDs) between the target and the ( N + 1 = 10 ) receivers' locations. The method facilitates the problem of target position and can be used as a counter-parallel method for spherical interpolation (SI) and spherical intersection (SX) methods in time difference of arrival (TDOA) and radar systems. The performance of the method is examined in 2D target localization using numerical analysis under the distribution of receivers in the pentagram array. The simulations are conducted using four different far-distance targets and comparatively large-area distributed receivers. The RD measurements were distorted by two different values of Gaussian errors based on ionosphedriec time delays of 20 and 50 nsec owing to the different receivers' positions. The findings highly verified the validity of the method for addressing the problem of target localization. Additionally, a theoretical accuracy study of the method is given, which solely relies on the RD measurements.
