Moving-Target Tracking Based on Particle Filter with TDOA/FDOA Measurements

Abstract

In this letter; we propose a moving-target tracking algorithm based on a particle filler that uses the time difference of arrival (TDOA)/frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) measurements acquired by distributed sensors. It is shown that the performance of the proposed algorithm, based on the particle,filter outperforms the one based on the extended Kalman filter The use of both the TDOA and FDOA measurements is shown to be effective in the moving-target tracking. It is proven that the particle filter deals with the nonlinear nature of the moving-target tracking problem successfully.
