Abstract
It is desirable to enable emitter location using frequency difference of arrival (FDoA) measurements only, since many signals are characterized by coarse range resolution and fine Doppler resolution. For instance, while using the cross-ambiguity function (CAF) to measure the time difference of arrival (TDoA) and the FDoA of a narrowband signal, it is difficult to obtain accurate TDoA measurements because the Doppler resolution is higher than the range resolution. Grid-based and sample-based algorithms are developed to solve the two-dimensional (2D) emitter location problem, where the solution space is approximated, respectively, by generating deterministic and random emitter location candidates. Simulation results corroborate the viability of both non-iterative algorithms to estimate the emitter location using a single-time snapshot of FDoA measurements only, without any prior location information or any knowledge about the distribution of measurement errors. The achieved accuracies are sufficient for early warning purposes, preparing defenses, and cueing more accurate location sensors by directing additional surveillance resources.
