Algebraic distributed source localisation algorithm using TDOA and AOA measurements

This study proposes an algebraic distributed source localisation algorithm that combines time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements. The proposed algorithm uses AOAs to remove the unknown parameters in TDOA equations caused by the specially distributed structure. Then,...

description This study proposes an algebraic distributed source localisation algorithm that combines time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements. The proposed algorithm uses AOAs to remove the unknown parameters in TDOA equations caused by the specially distributed structure. Then, the observation equations are transformed into a set of pseudo-linear equations and apply linear weighted least square to obtain the source position. The application of weighting matrix can lead to an approximate maximum likelihood estimator and produce a substantial improvement in source localisation accuracy. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and its performance can achieve the Cramer–Rao lower bound at a moderate noise level.
