Description
Summary:In this paper, RF source localization in non-line of sight condition, using map of the obstacles is proposed. Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements are observations which are obtained from received signal on the UAV. In the proposed approach, AOA are used to determine the obstacle on the map from which the reflection has happened. Then the RSSI information is used to determine the location of the RF source. In the basic version of approach, triangulation is used to determine the location of the RF source. In the advanced approach, the reflection angle is also estimated to improve the localization accuracy. The estimation is done using particle filter approach. In addition, it is shown analytically that the maximum localization error for the advanced approach is bounded but relative formation of the reflectors with respect to each other can increase the localization error for the basic approach.
