Abstract

This paper presents a description of recent research and the multi-target tracking in experimental passive bistatic radar (PBR) system taking advantage of numerous non-cooperative AM radio signals via multi-static doppler shifts. However, it raises challenges for use by multiple spatially distributed AM radio illuminators for multi-target tracking in PBR system due to complex data association hypotheses and no directly used tracking algorithm in the practical scenario. To solve these problems, after a series of key array signal processing techniques in the self-developed system, by constructing a nonlinear measurement model, the novel method is proposed to accommodate nonlinear model by using the unscented transformation (UT) in Gaussian mixture (GM) implementation of iterated-corrector cardinality-balanced multi-target multi-Bernoulli (CBMeMBer). Simulation and experimental results analysis verify the feasibility of this approach used in a practical PBR system for moving multi-target tracking.

Highlights

  • IntroductionSince the Passive bistatic radar (PBR) system can typically collect bistatic range, time-of-arrival (TOA), direction-of-arrival (DOA), and Doppler shift from the received signals, an alternative choice is to use multi-static Doppler shift as measurements for multi-target tracking

  • We extended Gaussian mixture (GM) implementation of the CBMeMBer filter to update the procedure by using unscented transformation (UT)

  • We developed the Passive bistatic radar (PBR) system in Huazhong University of Science and Technology by tracking a close-in civilian airplane whose working frequency band is 6–30 MHz

Summary

Introduction

Since the PBR system can typically collect bistatic range, time-of-arrival (TOA), direction-of-arrival (DOA), and Doppler shift from the received signals, an alternative choice is to use multi-static Doppler shift as measurements for multi-target tracking. DOA of in direct wave can be to traditional passive radar, surveillance and reference channels arefrom needed receive target obtained by the multiple signal classification (MUSIC).
