Radar network topology optimization for joint target position and velocity estimation

In this paper, we tackle the problem of selecting the radar node positions to provide an estimate of the target state vector with a prescribed accuracy. The topology optimization problem is formulated as selection of a fixed number of radar node positions from a set of available ones, where the radar observations are modeled by a general non...

Radar networks performance analysis and topology optimization

The ultimate goal of any sensing system is to build situation awareness. Existing<br/>solutions for a single radar node that have to assure extended areas of coverage with<br/>high resolution measurements (in range, cross-range, and Doppler) are physically<br/>cumbersome (large antenna size) and typically require large operational resources ...

Sparsity-Based Optimization of the Sensors Positions in Radar Networks with Separated Transmit and Receive Nodes

A sparsity-based approach for the joint optimization of the transmit and the receive nodes positions in the radar network with widely distributed antennas is proposed in this paper. The optimization problem is formulated as minimization of the number of radars that meet fixed target localization requirements over the surveillance area. We...
