Location Algorithm of Airborne External Transmitter Based on DP-BVCKF

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1093.2021.04.014

Abstract

Abstract: An location algorithm based on dynamic programming and bivariate cubature Kalman filter (DP-BVCKF) was proposed for the target state estimation of airborne external transmitter location system in clutter environment. The state transition range of target is determined based on the error propagation theory. The amplitude of echo signal is selected as the value function of dynamic programming for recursive accumulation. Based on the statistical characteristics of clutter and the extreme value theory, the extraction threshold of target measurement of dynamic programming is determined, and the measurement sequence from target is extracted reversely. The states of target and external transmitter are estimated simultaneously by using the bivariate cubature Kalman filter algorithm. Simulated results show that the proposed algorithm can be used to extract the measurement sequence of target from clutter effectively, and the state estimation uncertainty is also reduced. The proposed algorithm has lower calculation burden and better state estimation effect.
