Statistical method for bistatic sonar positioning error based on confidence ellipse
Localization errors severely constrain enhancing the performance of bistatic sonar systems. To address this problem
this study investigated the statistical characteristics of these errors using Monte Carlo simulations
confirming that the confidence ellipse based on the error function is effective for error analysis. Through simulations
the impact of major error sources
including time-delay errors
receiving array bearing measurement errors
and transceiver node position errors
on the multistatic localization performance was further analyzed. The results indicate that: 1) Time-delay and bearing measurement errors significantly affect the localization accuracy
whereas the transceiver position errors have a minimal impact; 2) localization errors will increase substantially when the separation distance exceeds a specific threshold; 3) larger errors will occur when targets approach specific receiving angles relative to the transmitting node. These findings provide critical references for the analysis of the system accuracy and engineering applications.
