Asymmetrical Multistation Effects on GDOP in Target Tracking.
Abstract
Accurate estimates of Cartesian coordinates of the existing range instrumentation systems depend on such factors as target position, number of instruments, location of instruments, and instrument accuracy. This report analyses the problem of instrument location when the station configuration is asymmetrical. This is an extension of a previous investigation and covers a more general class of problems. This study has shown that, for angle measuring devices, the error estimate is functionally related to the azimuth reference used when the station locations are asymmetrical. Expressions are developed for several classes of site geometries. Optimal site geometries have been identified within a certain class of site geometries. (Author)
