The application discloses a method for three-dimensional positioning of a two-coordinate
radar assisted by RIS, comprising the following steps: a direct receiving channel and an auxiliary receiving channel of a target
echo signal are constructed by combining the RIS with the two-coordinate
radar; a measurement information
error equation of a target is constructed according to the two-coordinate
radar assisted by the RIS; and a value of the target position is estimated according to the measurement information
error equation of the target. In the application, a single or multiple RIS is introduced into a same detection beam, the characteristics of a wide-beam in the elevation direction of a two-coordinate radar
station are combined, a virtual multi-
station receiving channel in the elevation direction is constructed, the spatial
diversity gain of the two-coordinate radar is explored, and the three-dimensional positioning of a target is realized by using the redundant information. The RIS has low
power consumption and low cost, can be carried by a UAV to be moved at any time, can change the electromagnetic
wave propagation direction by phase shifting, does not need
data transmission for fusing information, and is easier to realize high-precision
phase alignment.
