Abstract

The Localization of distributed sources has attracted significant interest recently. There mainly are two types of localization methods which are able to estimate distributed source positions: two-step methods and direct localization methods. Unfortunately, both fail to exploit the location information and so suffer a loss in localization accuracy. By utilizing the information not used in the above, a direct localization method of multiple distributed sources is proposed in this paper that offers improved location accuracy. We construct a direct localization model of multiple distributed sources and develop a direct localization estimator with the theory of multiple signal classification. The distributed source positions are estimated via a three-dimensional grid search. We also provide Cramer-Rao Bound, computational complexity analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the localization methods above in terms of accuracy and resolution.
