In this article, we review and compare different methods for the localization of an illuminator of opportunity for passive radar systems employing cooperative targets. For assessment and comparison, we use numerical simulations and real-world radar measurements. To achieve reliable operation under real-world conditions, a correct and robust association of the bistatic radar target observations with ground truth information is necessary. We introduce a novel solution to this issue with an efficient preprocessing algorithm based on a planar approximation.

使用平面近似的无源雷达发射机定位

在本文中，我们回顾并比较了使用协作目标的无源雷达系统定位机会照明器的不同方法。为了评估和比较，我们使用数值模拟和真实世界的雷达测量。为了在真实世界条件下实现可靠​​运行，双基地雷达目标观测与地面实况信息之间的正确和稳健的关联是必要的。我们通过基于平面近似的高效预处理算法为这个问题引入了一种新的解决方案。
