The invention discloses a short baseline synthetic aperture passive positioning method and
system based on
Chirp-Z spectrum
estimation, and mainly solves the problem of large positioning error and frequency
estimation error caused by residual
frequency deviation in the prior art. According to the implementation scheme, the method comprises the steps that a geometric scene comprising a reconnaissance plane, two short baseline antennas and an unknown
radiation source is built; obtaining signals of the
radiation source received by the two short baseline antennas on the reconnaissance plane according to the geometric scene; performing down-conversion and
correlation method processing on the received
signal to obtain a single-frequency
signal sequence; a
Chirp-Z spectrum
estimation algorithm is adopted for the single-frequency
signal sequence to obtain a frequency estimation value, and the coordinates of the
radiation source are calculated according to the frequency estimation value. According to the invention, frequency measurement is carried out by using a
Chirp-Z spectrum estimation method, and Z transformation is converted into an FFT processable form through
convolution operation, so that the operation complexity and spectrum estimation errors are reduced, phase
ambiguity and signal coherence dependence are avoided, the reliability of the model is improved, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. The method can be used for an unknown
signal source which has a short baseline and does not have a periodic discontinuous short signal sequence.
