A
satellite-borne
passive radar location method based on a GNSS-R (global navigation
satellite system-reflection)
signal geometrical relationship comprises steps as follows: step one, the moment when a
receiver receives a direct
signal of a GPS
satellite is marked as t1, and the moment when the
receiver receives a reflected
signal to a target by a related GPRS satellite signal is marked as t2; step two, a
direct path length L and a reflection
path length D of the signal are calculated according to the arrival moment of the signal; step three, the position coordinate T ( xt, yt, zt) and the position coordinate R (xr, yr, zr) of a
transmitter and the
receiver are calculated; step four, the included
angle alpha between the direct signal and the reflected signal is calculated, and the vector of the reflected signal is determined; step five, the vector of the reflected signal is lengthened to the point N in the transmission direction, so that the distance between R of the receiver and the point N is equal to the distance of the reflected signal path, and a coordinate of N is calculated; step six, a midpoint of a vector TN from T of the
transmitter to the point N is set to be M, and a coordinate of M is calculated; and step seven, a TN vertical line passing the point M is drawn on a plane TRN, the vertical line intersects with a vector RN at the point P which is the position of the target at the moment, and a coordinate of the point P is calculated. According to the method, the calculation difficulty is reduced, the location efficiency is improved, and the location cost is reduced.
