Sequential Multi-Sensor JPDA for Target Tracking in Passive Multi-Static Radar With Range and Doppler Measurements

Abstract

Target tracking in passive multi-static radar (PMSR) with bistatic range and Doppler frequency measurements from multiple transmit-receive pairs is gaining increasing interest. For the data association problem in this scenario, the parallel architecture of a multi-sensor joint probabilistic data association (P-MSJPDA) filter has been significantly investigated. As an alternative architecture, the sequential MSJPDA (S-MSJPDA) is rarely discussed in PMSR. In this paper, we evaluate the behaviors of S-MSJPDA in PMSR target tracking with bistatic range and Doppler frequency measurements. A comprehensive comparison between the S-MSJPDA and the P-MSJPDA in PMSR is provided. It can be found from the analysis that S-MSJPDA outperforms its parallel counterpart in terms of computational efficiency, given an acceptable degradation in position accuracy. The S-MSJPDA is further applied to an experimental passive multi-static radar for aircrafts tracking. The real data results obtained are rather close to the true trajectories of the targets. This demonstrates that the S-MSJPDA has great potentials in PMSR target tracking. INDEX TERMS Passive multi-static radar, target tracking, multi-sensor joint probabilistic data association.

“…In recent times it's been utilized in scientific and engineering aspect for quite a long time [8]. If there should arise an occurrence of frameworks with high nonlinear nature, the unscented KF estimation method is imperatives on GN and the practicality is generally very bad when contrasted with extended KF estimation method [9]. The core of the cubature KF is a circular spiral cubature rule.…”
