Abstract

This paper considers the localization of an emitter where the transmitted signal is unknown for receivers. To improve the localization accuracy, we propose an efficient method to estimate the emitter position by reconstructing the transmitted signal jointly. Simulation results show that the localization performance of the proposed method is much better than the existing algorithms.
