Different from traditional parameter measurement and direct position determination (DPD) method, recently a new passive localization method based on synthetic aper-ture technique, named synthetic aperture positioning (SAP), has been proposed. The method com-pensates for the nonlinear phase produced by relative motion between the moving platform and the emitter, achieving coherent summation of intercepted signals. The SAP can obtain high-resolution and high-precision localization results at a low signal-to-noise ratio. This paper summarizes the research progress of SAP, including localization principles, spaceborne applications, and application scope analysis. Besides, the possible future outlook of SAP is considered.

However, the unknown residual frequency offset (RFO) between the transmit-ter and the receiver causes the received Doppler signal to shift, which affects the localization accu-racy. To solve this issue, this paper proposes a RFO estimation method based on range migration fitting. Due to the high frequency modulation slope of the linear frequency modulation (LFM)-mod-ulation radar signal, it is not affected by RFO in range compression. Therefore, the azimuth time can be estimated by fitting the peak value position of the pulse compression in range direction. Then, the matched filters are designed under different RFOs. When the zero-Doppler time obtained by the matched filters is consistent with the estimated azimuth time, the given RFO is the real RFO between the transceivers. The simulation results show that the estimation error of azimuth distance does not exceed 20 m when the received signal duration is not less than 3 s, the pulse repe-tition frequency (PRF) of the transmitter radar signal is not less than 1 kHz, the range detection is not larger than 1000 km, and the signal noise ratio (SNR) is not less than -5 dB.

In this paper, a method for DOA estimation based on a motion platform is proposed to achieve high-precision DOA estimation by utilizing past and present signals. The concept of synthetic aperture is introduced to construct a linear DOA estima-tion model. A DOA fine-tuning method based on the linear model is proposed to eliminate the lin-ear DOA variation, achieving a non-coherent accumulation of DOA estimations. Moreover, the baseband modulation and the phase modulation caused by the range history are compensated to achieve the coherent accumulation of all the DOA estimations. Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the DOA estimated accuracy at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).

In this paper, a sparse representation model based on covariance matrix is constructed for the long-range localization scenario, and a sparse Bayesian learning algo-rithm based on Laplace prior of signal covariance is developed for the base mismatch problem caused by target deviation from the initial point grid. An adaptive grid sparse Bayesian learning targets localization (AGSBL) algorithm is proposed. The AGSBL algorithm implements a covari-ance-based sparse signal reconstruction and grid adaptive localization dictionary learning. Simula-tion results show that the AGSBL algorithm outperforms the traditional compressed-aware localiza-tion algorithm for different signal-to-noise ratios and different number of targets in long-range scenes.

Subsequently, a single-satellite localization algorithm based on passive synthetic aper-ture (PSA) was introduced, enabling high-precision positioning. However, its estimation of azimuth and range distance is considerably affected by the residual frequency offset (RFO) of uncoopera-tive system transceivers. Furthermore, it requires data containing a satellite flying over the radia-tion source for RFO search. After estimating the RFO, an accurate estimation of azimuth and range distance can be carried out, which is difficult to achieve in practical situations. An LFM radar source passive localization algorithm based on range migration is proposed to address the dif-ficulty in estimating frequency offset. The algorithm first provides a rough estimate of the pulse repetition time (PRT). It processes intercepted signals through range compression, range interpola-tion, and polynomial fitting to obtain range migration observations. Subsequently, it uses the changing information of range migration and an accurate PRT to formulate a system of nonlinear equations, obtaining the emitter position and a more accurate PRT through a two-step localization algorithm. Frequency offset only induces a fixed offset in range migration, which does not affect the changing information. This algorithm can also achieve high-precision localization in squint scenar-ios. Finally, the effectiveness of this algorithm is verified through simulations.

The effectiveness of the antenna array in this paper is verified by sufficient simulation and experiment. After the system deviation correction work, it is found that in the L/S/C/X frequency bands, the ambiguity resolu-tion probability is high, and the phase difference system error between each channel is basically the same. The angle measurement error is less than 0.5°, and the positioning error is less than 2.5 km. Notably, as the center frequency increases, calibration consistency improves, and the calibration fre-quency points become applicable over a wider frequency range. At a center frequency of 11.5 GHz, the calibration frequency point bandwidth extends to 1200 MHz. This combined antenna array deployment holds significant promise for a wide range of applications in contemporary wireless com-munication systems.

The basic principle of the recognition method is to obtain the transformation relationship between the time and frequency of complex radar intra-pulse modulation signal through short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and then design an appropriate deep residual network to extract the features of the time-frequency map and complete a variety of complex intra-pulse modulation signal type recognition. In addition, in order to improve the generalization ability of the proposed method, label smoothing and L2 regularization are introduced. The simulation results show that the proposed method has a recognition accuracy of more than 95％ for complex radar intra-pulse modulation sig-nal types under low SNR (2 dB).

Due to the serious non-stationary, non-linear, and non-Gaussian characteristics, machine learning based DOA estimation methods trained on simulated Gaussian noised array data cannot be directly applied to actual underwater DOA estimation tasks. In order to deal with this problem, environmental data with no target echoes can be employed to analyze the non-Gaussian components. Then, the obtained information about non-Gaussian components can be used to whiten the array data. Based on these considerations, a novel practical sonar array whitening method was proposed. Specifically, based on a weak assumption that the non-Gaussian components in adjacent patches with and without target echoes are almost the same, canonical cor-relation analysis (CCA) and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) techniques are employed for whitening the array data. With the whitened array data, machine learning based DOA estimation models trained on simulated Gaussian noised datasets can be used to perform underwater DOA estimation tasks. Experimental results illustrated that, using actual underwater datasets for testing with known machine learning based DOA estimation models, accurate and robust DOA estimation performance can be achieved by using the proposed whitening method in different underwater con-ditions.
