Abstract
Introduction. Currently, there is a significant increase in the number of relay satellites in geostationary orbit. However, frequent incidents of illegal use of the satellites frequency resource, as well as unintentional and deliberate interference with other users are fixed. In this regard, it becomes necessary to evaluate accuracy and applicability of various methods for determining the location of sources of illegal and interfering radio emission with different signal parameters and with different levels of uncertainty for relay satellite coordinates and velocities.
Aim. To study and to evaluate the accuracy of methods of geolocation of radio emission sources operating through geostationary relay satellites, with different signal parameters and with different levels of uncertainty for relay satellite coordinates and velocities.
Materials and methods. Imitation modeling and the theory of digital signal processing were used.
Results. Factors influencing the accuracy of the estimation of TDOA and FDOA parameters when determining the position of radio emission sources, which operate via relay satellites located in geostationary orbit, were considered. As a result of simulation, the estimate of the accuracy of the considered geolocation methods was obtained. It depends on the bandwidth of radio emission source signal, on the recording duration and on the level of a priori uncertainty relatively the relay satellites coordinates and velocities. Recommendations for the application of the considered methods in various conditions were formulated.
Conclusions. Conclusions and recommendations formulated as a result of the study, will allow one to choose the most appropriate geolocation method to improve the accuracy of radio emission sources locating depending on conditions and signal parameters.
