Registration correction accuracy improvement through finer quantization and timestamp
Nick Rozen, Laura Zheng, Jonathan B. Hammer · 2014
ASTERIX shows improvements on RTQC registration corrections with 2 radar configurations and multiple (n>2) radar configurations. The average amounts of range and azimuth corrections are close regardless of the format, yet the amount of variation for both is much lower for the ASTERIX data. The decrease in the variability of the corrections would lead to more stability in the applied registration corrections, and might help decrease target/track miscorrelations and track vector wobble. Additional analysis is needed to determine the frequency of occurrence of these events in the operational system and the extent of any potential improvements.
