  • Abstract
    A mathematical model for the alignment of reference frames of radars with location errors and azimuth misalignments is developed. The alignment of reference frames in a multiple radar system is necessary to share data effectively between the radars. A nonstatistical least-square estimator is constructed to estimate the alignment parameters that define the mathematical model. This algorithm can be employed in situations not requiring extremely accurate sensor alignment, and where the biases in the range, elevation, and time are negligible
