Abstract:

To overcome the bottleneck of data transmission capacity and computation of the original direct position determination (DPD) method based on TDOA and FDOA, two decentralized DPD methods are proposed. The first proposed method uses the decentralized sensor coupling scheme, in which the signal intercepted by each sensor is transmitted only once and data transmission and computation operations are dispersed to each sensor to compute cross ambiguity function (CAF) in parallel, so as to construct cross ambiguity matrix (CAM) with merely full rank. Based on the derivation of a formula for the relation between arbitrary CAFs, the second method applies a reduction operation to compute the remaining CAFs at each sensor in parallel, and complements all elements of CAM. Two decentralized DPD methods reduce the amount of data transmission and improve the efficiency of computation. Performance analysis and simulation results show that the accuracy of the proposed methods are superior to that of the two-step methods. At low SNR, both of the two proposed methods can achieve desired accuracy, and at high SNR, the second proposed method can obtain the accuracy similar to that of the original DPD method.
