From: Novel maximum likelihood approach for passive detection and localisation of multiple emitters

Parameter

Value

Number of sensors (N)

20

Locations of sensors

Grid formation with separations of 50 m (see Fig. 1)

Probability of detection of each target (P d )

0.8, 0.9, or 1.0

Average false alarms per sensor

2.2

AOA measurement error standard deviation (σ θ )

Target event locations

Uniformly sampled in the surveillance region [3 km, 7 km] × [-2 km, 2 km], but excluding events from occurring within 500 m of the sensor array (again, see Fig. 3)

Target event times

Either the same or each sampled from a uniform [0, 100] seconds distribution
