MLE-IMM algorithm of maneuvering target location by single station with radio signal

Abstract

A novel method of maneuvering target location by single station with radio signal is proposed in this paper. Firstly, based on the measurement of Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of the non-cooperative FM radio illuminators, the maneuvering model and the measurement equation are built. Secondly, the Maximum-Likelihood Estimate Interacting Multiple-Model (MLE-IMM) algorithm for location of maneuvering target is proposed. With the help of computer simulation, the proposed method is proven to be practicable and effective.
