Abstract

The feasibility of the estimation of a target’s coordinates solely from the Doppler data measured by forward-scatter radar systems (RSs) is analyzed. It is shown that the coordinates’ ambiguity is inherent in a bistatic RS with one transmitting antenna and one receiving antenna. This ambiguity is eliminated in a system with one transmitting antenna and two receiving antennas located close to each other. Algorithms for determining the target’s coordinates in this system are proposed. The accuracy of estimating the target’s coordinates is evaluated and compared to that obtained with a bistatic RS that measures the Doppler frequency and a signal’s direction of arrival.
