Abstract

In the passive location system, the traditional maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) location method can’t eliminate larger error or wrong parameter automatically, and does not apply to multi-target situation. A novel location method named as position information field for target (PIFT) location method is proposed for multi-target based on the MLE location method. By adding a cost function, the PIFT location method can overcome the disadvantage of MLE location method mentioned above and adapt to the complex electromagnetic environment. It is suitable for the multi-target localization and determines target’s number and position simultaneously even the measured parameters of multi-target are indistinguishable. The effectiveness and adaptive of the proposed method is verified by computer experiments.
