Algorithms for Optimal Localization of a Random Point-Pulse Source Uniformly Distributed over a Search Interval

Аннотация

A time-optimal technique is developed for spatial localization of a random point-pulse source that has a uniform distribution over a search interval and manifests itself in the generation of unit pulses (delta functions) at arbitrary instants. Localization is carried out using a receiver with a search window that arbitrarily tunes itself in time. The algorithms presented are generalized to the case where search is performed by a system of several receivers.
