The new concept of Passive Synthetic Aperture Antenna Array (PSAAA) is introduced into this paper.The same receiver carried by small aircraft is virtually taken as PSAAA element at different flight track position at multiple different moments.Using the characteristics of aircraft space movement and radar antenna circular rotation
an effective method to estimate the passive localization information Virtual Time Differences of Arrival (VTDOAs) is proposed.Based on VTDOAs estimation
they are proposed that the construction method for a binary quadratic localization equation group and a closed-form solution algorithm for radar position estimation.Simulations corroborate the performance of the proposed methods and it's proved that the proposed passive radar source localization method based on PSAAA is applicable for search alert radars in practical applications.
