Joint Coverage and Localization Driven Receiver Placement in Distributed Passive Radar

In distributed passive radar, optimization of the receiver placement attracts much attention recently to improve the performance. Whereas most research optimizes receiver placement for best coverage or localization performance, the effect of one performance optimization on the other is ignored. In this article, the theoretical analysis on the conflict between the coverage and localization performance optimization is presented. Then, a joint coverage and localization-based receiver placement optimization is formulated, in which the detection probability and the localization accuracy are chosen as the corresponding metrics. To solve this optimization problem, a multiobjective neighborhood search algorithm with multineighborhood structure is proposed, by which a set of Pareto solutions corresponding to the optimal receiver placements is obtained. Compared with the traditional neighborhood search algorithms, the proposed algorithm is able to provide better receiver placements approaching the global Pareto optimum, which is validated by the simulations.
