Study on Optimization of the Number of DF Stations

Article Preview

Abstract:

Reasonable number of direction finding station is examined in multi-station bearing-crossing location. Though it is believed that increasing the number of station is helpful to improve the location accuracy, In the paper, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) as an example. The algorithms and the location error models are given. The simulation results show that the location accuracy will be improved quickly with the increase of the number of the measuring participants, but the improvement will be sharply slowed down if too many station involved, which also boost the complexity of location.
