SAR Geolocation Using Range-Doppler Multilateration
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Radar is by its basic nature a ranging instrument. If radar range and range-rate measurements from multiple directions can be made and assembled, then multilateration allows locating a feature common to the set of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to an accurate 3-D coordinate. The ability to employ effective multilateration algorithms is highly dependent on the geometry of the data collections, and the accuracy with which relative range measurements can be made. The problem can be cast as a least-squares exercise, and the concept of Dilution of Precision can describe the accuracy and precision with which a 3-D location can be made.
