The method of using the basic equation of passive location in the calculation of coverage areas on protected objects of information
Incoming article date: 26.02.2018Passive detection sensors are widely spread in engineering-technical systems of information protection. During designing such systems, it may be difficult to calculate the coverage areas of infrared detectors. This is due to the fact that the problem of establishing a relationship between the theory of statistical detection and the choice of parameters for the equation of the maximum detection range is not considered in detail. In this regard, the task was to develop a method for applying the basic equation of passive location to calculate the coverage areas of infrared detectors. The calculation method is developed on the basis of the equation of the maximum range of the passive receiver. The study considered three models of the signal-to-noise ratio: a signal against a white noise background with fully known signal-to-noise parameters; detection of a signal whose phase and amplitude are unknown; and detection of a random signal against a noise background. As a result of the research, the conditions under which the passive signal detection formulas on the background of noise give correct results were found. Thus, the connection of the statistical theory of detection with the equation of the range of the passive emitter was established.
