Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of passive positioning technology, specifically relating to a single-station passive positioning method for non-cooperative moving radiation sources based on synthetic aperture. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern electronic reconnaissance, passive localization technology has become a core technology for target localization and tracking in complex electromagnetic environments due to its strong concealment advantage. Traditional passive localization methods are divided into two-step localization methods and direct localization methods. Two-step localization methods use a single observation parameter, which, while simple and easy to implement, is prone to non-convergence. Combining multiple observation parameters can solve this problem, but it greatly increases the complexity of the system. Direct localization methods do not require estimation of observation parameters; they directly search for the spatial location of the radiation source through a cost function, reducing information loss caused by measuring observation parameters. Their localization performance under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions is generally superior to that of two-step localization methods.

[0003] Compared to traditional passive positioning methods, which suffer from long observation times, low positioning efficiency, and significant errors under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, passive positioning methods based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can achieve higher positioning accuracy. Current literature on SAR passive positioning methods primarily focuses on fixed ground-based radiation sources, lacking in-depth research on the positioning of moving radiation sources. In reality, in passive positioning scenarios for ground / sea surface radiation sources, the sources are not always stationary but are often in motion. Analysis reveals that the aforementioned SAR positioning methods are difficult to apply to the positioning of moving radiation sources. The fundamental reason lies in the high coupling between the position and velocity information of the radiation source in traditional SAR positioning models, making it difficult to simultaneously and accurately estimate both information under non-cooperative radiation source conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a single-station passive localization method for non-cooperative moving radiation sources based on synthetic aperture, thereby solving the problem that the inversion results of localization parameters are uncertain due to the fact that there are more localization parameters than imaging parameters in the localization of non-cooperative moving radiation sources.

This indicates that by considering the remaining phase Polynomial fitting can be used to obtain the coefficients of its cubic term. The third frequency modulation is then calculated using the following formula: .
