Abstract :
This paper presents an algorithm based on TOA (time of arrival) and azimuth measurements. The location principle and feasibility of the technique are analysed in detail. For some bistatic radar systems with receivers which locate and track 3-D moving targets by means of a passive method, it is sometimes difficult to measure the pitch angle of targets. The algorithm proposed is of great importance to the practicability of bistatic passive location and tracking systems. With the help of computer simulation, the performance of this algorithm is evaluated for typical target paths according to Monte Carlo methods
