2. Space Electronic Reconnaissance: Localization Theories and Methods
2014 by Fucheng Guo, Yun Fan, Yiyu Zhou, Caigen Xhou, Qiang Li



"Space Electronic Reconnaissance: Localization Theories and Methods" delves into the theories and practical applications involved in determining the precise position of objects in space through satellite technology. Recognizing the growing significance of space reconnaissance, the book addresses the challenges of accessing information on this topic due to its classified nature. Aimed at bridging this knowledge gap, the book elucidates the diverse applications and fundamental principles of modern space electronic reconnaissance systems. Covering mono/multi-satellite platforms, it explores their critical role in detecting, localizing, tracking, and identifying signal sources from radar, communication, or navigation systems. The book introduces the localization technology, utilizing single or multiple satellite receivers to receive signals from various emitters on the ground, in the ocean, and in space, pinpointing their locations. It discusses methods, principles, and technologies of different space electronic reconnaissance localization systems, accompanied by performance assessments and analytical insights. Digital simulations are included to illustrate the outcomes. With a focus on defense industry applications, the book is particularly valuable for engineers specializing in avionics, radar, communication, navigation, and electronic warfare. Individual chapters cover diverse aspects such as the introduction of space electronic reconnaissance localization technology, satellite orbit knowledge, passive localization terminology, geolocation technologies, tracking algorithms, error analyses, and orbit determinations. Each chapter concludes with a section featuring problems and solutions, some incorporating Matlab code.
