Abstract

This paper introduces the target localization experiment using the digital television terrestrial broadcasting (DTMB) signal. Firstly, the feasibility and advantages of DTMB signal as an external illumination source signal are analyzed. Then the ambiguity function of DTMB signal is analyzed, as well as its distance and Doppler resolution. ECA algorithm is introduced to suppress direct wave and multipath clutter. In order to obtain the positioning results of target, the array antenna is used as the direction-finding antenna to measure the azimuth angle of target. Finally, the target localization experiment based on DTMB signal is designed, and the localization information of target is determined by combining the actual position of TV Tower and receiver in two dimensions.
