Abstract
This paper performs aircraft attitude/heading estimation using an airborne dipole triad antenna. The signal model is given with the parameters such as the wave Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and state of polarization. The algorithms for estimating the source DOA and electric ellipse orientation angle are presented along with their statistical performance analysis. From these parameters, the aircraft gesture angles about pitching, yawing, and rolling, which are needed by autopilot, are produced. Simulation results validate the proposed algorithm's efficacy.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Radars was founded in 2012 by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Information Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (formerly the Institute of Electronics) and the China Radar Industry Association (CRIA), which is located in the high-end academic journal and academic exchange platform in the field of radar, and is committed to promoting and leading the scientific and technological development in the field of radar. The journal can publish Chinese papers and English papers, and is now a bimonthly journal.
Journal of Radars focuses on theory, originality and foresight, and its scope of coverage mainly includes: radar theory and system, radar signal and data processing technology, radar imaging technology, radar identification and application technology.
Journal of Radars has been included in domestic core journals and foreign Scopus, Ei and other databases, and was selected as ‘China's high-quality science and technology journals’, and ranked the first in the category of electronic technology and communication technology in the ‘Chinese Core Journals List (2023 Edition)’.
