Abstract EN
Distributed platforms play an important role in aerospace remote sensing, radar navigation, and wireless communication applications.
However, besides the requirement of high accurate time and frequency synchronization for coherent signal processing, the baseline between the transmitting platform and receiving platform and the orientation of platform towards each other during data recording must be measured in real time.
In this paper, we propose an improved pulsed duplex microwave ranging approach, which allows determining the spatial baseline and orientation between distributed aerospace platforms by the proposed high-precision time-interval estimation method.
This approach is novel in the sense that it cancels the effect of oscillator frequency synchronization errors due to separate oscillators that are used in the platforms.
Several performance specifications are also discussed.
The effectiveness of the approach is verified by simulation results.
