This research provides an analysis of the theoretical performance of a multistatic radar system comprised of a single active LFM transmitter and many distributed receivers within a swarm. The Cramér-Rao Lower Bounds on the range and velocity estimation errors of a subset of receivers, including the best performers within the swarm, are used as a performance metric and a Monte-Carlo approach is used to simulate the vignettes containing random distributions of node locations. The performance improvement based on the receiver swarm containment volume and number of receivers within the swarm are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
