This invention proposes a passive bi-
station cooperative positioning method based on one-dimensional
azimuth measurement. By constructing an orthogonal space for
azimuth observation, a measurement equation can be established between one-dimensional measurement information, time
delay information, and the
unknown source position. Furthermore, by introducing weighted
least squares technology, the near-closed solution can be quickly obtained to determine the target source position. Under
Gaussian noise, when the measurement error is small and the deviation is negligible relative to the variance, the
mean square error of the positioning can reach the theoretical
estimation accuracy. The proposed invention can overcome the target positioning performance limitations caused by the drastic reduction in the number of operational radars due to
electronic warfare, and has significant
engineering application value.
