Direct Position Determination Algorithm Based on Multi-array in the Presence of Gain-phase Errors

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of accuracy decrease of Direct Position Determination (DPD) in the presence of gain-phase error, the effect of the gain-phase error to the DPD algorithm is analyzed and an improved DPD algorithm with gain-phase error is introduced. In this algorithm, the gain-phase errors and the position of the targets are co-estimated simultaneously with iteration, which reduce the effect of the gain-phase errors. Simulation result shows that the improved algorithm has higher accuracy than the DPD algorithm without correction.
