Redundant data compression and location accuracy analysis in T/R-R bistatic radar system

In modern ECM and ECCM environments, bistatic radar systems have drawn increasing interest in military applications. Bistatic radar system involves two types: T-R and T/R-R. However, the feasibility of compressing redundant data in a bistatic radar system by Markov estimation has received little attention so far. This paper presents a theorem with respect to this particular issue. Theoretical analysis shows that, if there are same components in two measurement sets, redundant data compression in the sense of Markov estimation can not be made. Under the circumstance that the redundant data can be compressed, simulation results show that data compression can improve the location precision greatly in a bistatic radar system, and particularly in the region of the base line, the near region of the transmitter station and the receiver station
