The purpose of this work is to establish how a moving emitter can be localized by a passive receiver through the use of out-of-plane multipath signals reflected by the terrain. This is a novel localization technique that assumes no a priori knowledge of the location of the multipath sources. The emitter parameters of range, heading, velocity, and altitude are estimated by exploiting the correlation between the direct-path signal and the delayed, attenuated, and Doppler modulated signals reflected by the terrain. Two basic assumptions about the terrain scattering properties lead to different maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of emitter parameters. The first assumption is that the terrain scattering is fundamentally homogeneous; in this case the ML estimator is found to have the structure of a timevarying FIR filter. The second assumption is that the terrain scattering is fundamentally inhomogeneous and dominated by a number of discrete scatterers. This assumption leads to a two-part estimator which first estimates the scattering parameters of azimuth, differential delay, and Doppler shift, and then estimates the emitter parameters using the scatterer parameter estimates. The Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the variances for each estimator are derived and used to study estimator performance for several scenarios. The proposed estimators are successfully demonstrated using field data collected at White Sands Missile Range during the DARPA/Navy Mountaintop program. Several extensions to the basic results are considered such as localizing pulsed and self-correlated emitters, multiple emitters, and the effects of receiver motion. in PREFACE The material presented in this report is identical to that in a dissertation submitted to Northeastern University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, August 1997, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Conventional HF geolocation method based on ray tracing relies on strict requirement on ionosphere information while line-of-bearing based geolocation method and time difference of arrival (TDOA) based method require fine angular resolution and large aperture array. In practical applications, these methods will be subject to practical constraints, especially when operated in land-limited environment. This paper investigates a new approach of HF geolocation based on TDOA and direction of arrival (DOA) of multipaths, which can alleviate the strict requirements on ionosphere information and large aperture array. A nonlinear optimization problem is formulated based on the virtual path propagation model and solved by numerical optimization methods. Simulation studies are provided to illustrate the potential of the proposed method.

“…Different methods are introduced by authors for target geo-location, However all these methods can be categorized as Triangulation (sometimes referred as Angle of Arrival -AOA) methods [4,5,6], hyperbolic (sometimes referred as Time Difference of Arrival -TDOA) methods [7,8], difference Doppler method [9,10], Single Site HF method [11,12], and a combination of two or three of these methods [13,14,15].…”

In this paper a new passive imaging method is introduced that is mainly suitable for Geo-locating LPI radars. The method uses two Electronic Support (ES) receivers located on a fast moving platform (e.g. an airplane or a satellite). The proposed method has a high processing gain which makes it absolutely suitable against very weak LPI signals. It is also capable in radar location finding against complex radars and complicated electromagnetic environment.
