Multi-Stage Algorithms of Localization of a Random Pulsed Source with a Two-Step Probability Density Function in the Search Interval

Abstract

Time-optimal algorithms of spatial localization of random pulsed-point sources are proposed, and their parameters are calculated. These sources have a two-step probability density function in the search interval and are detected due to generation of instantaneous pulses at random time instants (delta functions). The advantage of the developed optimal localization algorithms over the search procedures that ignore specific features of the spatial distribution of the detected pulsed-point objects is demonstrated.
