针对高频地波雷达角度分辨率受限于阵列孔径的问题,利用AR模型循环外推法,对单快拍下回波数据进行合理的外推处理,增加数据长度,相当于接收阵元孔径虚拟增大,然后用MUSIC(multiple signal classification)算法进行DOA(direction of arrival)估计。仿真数据实验表明,改进方法比传统的MUSIC测向分辨率和精度都有明显的提高,且运算量不大,满足高频地波雷达的实时或者准实时高分辨测向要求。
双基地高频地波雷达发射垂直极化电磁波沿海面绕射传播来探测海上和空中目标,导致地球曲率对探测精度的影响不可忽略。通过建立局部球面三维坐标系,在局部球面坐标系中求解不同测量子集下的目标高度解析式,并求解不同测量子集下的定位精度几何分布(geometric dilution of precision,GDOP)。仿真分析目标在不同飞行高度时各测量子集的GDOP分布特性,最后得到飞行目标定位的最优测量子集分布图。
Tracking problem in spherical coordinates with range rate (Doppler) measurements, which would have errors correlated to the range measurement errors, is investigated in this paper. The converted Doppler measurements, constructed by the product of the Doppler measurements and range measurements, are used to replace the original Doppler measurements. A de-noising method based on an unbiased Kalman filter (KF) is proposed to reduce the converted Doppler measurement errors before updating the target states for the constant velocity (CV) model. The states from the de-noising filter are then combined with the Cartesian states from the converted measurement Kalman filter (CMKF) to produce final state estimates. The nonlinearity of the de-noising filter states are handled by expanding them around the Cartesian states from the CMKF in a Taylor series up to the second order term. In the mean time, the correlation between the two filters caused by the common range measurements is handled by a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation-based method. These result in a new tracking filter, CMDN-EKF2. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the proposed tracking filter can provide efficient and robust performance with a modest computational cost.
