The application discloses a single-
station synthetic aperture passive positioning method and
system based on a maximum spectral sharpness criterion, and belongs to the fields of
signal processing technology and passive positioning. The method comprises the following steps: controlling a single motion platform to continuously observe a non-cooperative
radiation source and collect a time-domain
baseband data sequence; constructing a virtual detection grid in a geographical space, and generating a corresponding geometric de-rotation operator for each grid node; performing point-by-point phase stripping
processing on the
baseband data by using the operator to obtain a residual phase sequence; mapping the residual phase sequence to a
frequency domain, calculating an energy concentration norm of a
spectral amplitude as a decision statistic of spatial matching; and determining the spatial coordinates of the
radiation source and simultaneously inverting a transmitting-receiving
frequency deviation by searching for a global maximum value point of the statistic. The application utilizes the physical characteristics that the
signal frequency energy is highly concentrated under the spatial matching state, effectively avoids the defocusing problem of a traditional time-domain coherent accumulation
algorithm under a frequency non-synchronous condition, and significantly improves the precision and robustness of single-
station passive positioning.
