Description
Summary:Aiming to mitigate the substantial dispersion in arrival angle estimation due to colored and white noise interference, which may seriously affect the accuracy of short-wave single-station positioning, this paper introduces an approach to optimizing angles based on the statistical features. By utilizing the extraction of the main peak area of the probability density distribution of the measured angle, as well as the two-dimensional Gaussian fitting and confidence ellipse bounding, the angle measurement results affected by colored noise interference and the noise points with large deviations can be sequentially filtered out. Combining experimental scenarios and confirmed by actual measurement data, the dispersion of arrival angle estimation results has been significantly constrained, and, correspondingly, the positioning accuracy has also been significantly improved by about 3%.
