Three Dimensional Passive Localization For Single Path Arrival With Unknown Starting Conditions, Britt Aguda
Three Dimensional Passive Localization For Single Path Arrival With Unknown Starting Conditions, Britt Aguda
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Introduced in this paper is the time difference of arrival (TDoA) conic approximation method (TCAM), a technique for passive localization in three dimensions with unknown starting conditions. The TDoA of a mutually detected signal across pairs of detectors is used to calculate the relative angle between the signal source and the center point of the separation between the detectors in the pair. The relative angle is calculated from the TDoA using a mathematical model called the TDoA approximation of the zenith angle (TAZA). The TAZA angle defines the opening angle of a conic region of probability that contains the signal …
