Radar Research Group Wide Area Multilateration Demonstration System Rudolf Seller, Ádám Szüllő Budapest University of Technology and Economics
Radar Research Group WAMLAT • Passive distributed radar system to improve ATC reliability • Wide-area coverage (>10km diameter) • Multiple receivers • Synchronization challenge • GPS based synchronization
Radar Research Group WAMLAT System • GPS based synchronization • Data transfer via Ethernet • Server
Radar Research Group Geometry of the Receivers • Multilateration is nonlinear • Location dependent positionestimation accuracy • Zone defined by the receivers
Radar Research Group Synchronization • GPS Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) • No physical clock distribution network • Tens of nanosecond accuracy • Long term time difference measurement between two GPSDOs:
Radar Research Group Arrangement of the Receivers • Across and around the city of Budapest • Not optimal geometry
Radar Research Group Results • Persistent displaying • Fligth information from http://www.flightradar24.com
Radar Research Group Results • Mode A and Mode C based multilateration has high false detection rate
Radar Research Group Results • Only Mode S based multilateration
Radar Research Group Results • „Invisible” aircraft
Radar Research Group Location dependent accuracy • Multilateration is nonlinear
Radar Research Group Accuracy of the system • Multilateration compared to ADS-B • ADS-B accuracy is questionable(eg. systematic error because of delay) • Accuracy estimation based on longterm dataset • Median error is 128 meters • Estimated accuracy is 150 meters
Radar Research Group Future work • Develope tracking algorithm • Expand the system nation-wide
Radar Research Group Thank You!
