Bi-station OTH radar locating and tracking using only range and Doppler measurements
2010
Azimuthal measurements of the high frequency ground wave over-the-horizon (OTH) radar are either coarse or unavailable in an actual environment. It is very hard for a single station OTH radar to performance effective tracking under that condition. A bi-station OTH radar system is proposed to triangulate target tracks using range and Doppler measurements only. Multi-sensor data association and combining positioning are key issues of this system. This paper focuses on positioning and tracking filter algorithm. The locating and tracking model is established and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to solve the bi-station nonlinear tracking problem. Simulation result shows that EKF can handle this well, and the bi-station OTH radar system can meet or slightly better than the accuracy of the conventional single station OTH radar tracking system with poor bearing resolution.
