A Direct Position Determination Approach for Radio Emitters in Presence of Mutual Coupling
Compared to the conventional two-step localization method
the direct position determination (DPD) methods presented by Weiss and Amar have more advantages
such as high precision
strong resolution capability
no measurements-sources association issue
etc.Based on the idea behind the novel localization mechanism
a new DPD method using the passive measurements made with a moving antenna array is proposed in this paper.Unlike the previous approaches
the proposed DPD method considers the effects of array mutual coupling and can decouple the target's positions and mutual coupling coefficients so that they can be solved separately.In addition
the theoretical estimation variance of the new DPD algorithm is derived in analytical manner based on the matrix eigen-perturbation theory.Finally
simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm and the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis in this paper.
