How to Evaluate Position Smoothing Parameter?

Position Smoothing Parameter evaluator uses Position Smoothing Parameter = (Smoothed Position-Target Predicted Position)/(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position) to evaluate the Position Smoothing Parameter, The Position Smoothing parameter formula is used to calculate the tuning parameter which is used to improve the quality of smoothed position estimated by the track-while-scan surveillance radar to avoid noisy measurements due to factors like clutters or noise in radar system. Position Smoothing Parameter is denoted by α symbol.

How to evaluate Position Smoothing Parameter using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Position Smoothing Parameter, enter Smoothed Position (Xin), Target Predicted Position (xpn) & Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Position Smoothing Parameter

What is the formula to find Position Smoothing Parameter?
The formula of Position Smoothing Parameter is expressed as Position Smoothing Parameter = (Smoothed Position-Target Predicted Position)/(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position). Here is an example- 0.5 = (40-74)/(6-74).
How to calculate Position Smoothing Parameter?
With Smoothed Position (Xin), Target Predicted Position (xpn) & Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) we can find Position Smoothing Parameter using the formula - Position Smoothing Parameter = (Smoothed Position-Target Predicted Position)/(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position).
