Xin=40m

Smoothed Position Formula Elements

Variables
Smoothed Position
Smoothed Position is defined as the estimated present position of target by track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: Xin
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Target Predicted Position
Target Predicted Position is the predicted or estimated position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: xpn
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Position Smoothing Parameter
Position Smoothing Parameter is 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.
Symbol: α
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Measured Position at Nth Scan
Measured position at Nth scan is the measured or actual position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: xn
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Smoothed Position?

Smoothed Position evaluator uses Smoothed Position = Target Predicted Position+Position Smoothing Parameter*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position) to evaluate the Smoothed Position, The Smoothed position formula is defined as on the basis of previous result radar is made smoothed position to estimate target easily. Smoothed Position is denoted by Xin symbol.

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

FAQs on Smoothed Position

What is the formula to find Smoothed Position?
The formula of Smoothed Position is expressed as Smoothed Position = Target Predicted Position+Position Smoothing Parameter*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position). Here is an example- 40 = 74+0.5*(6-74).
How to calculate Smoothed Position?
With Target Predicted Position (xpn), Position Smoothing Parameter (α) & Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) we can find Smoothed Position using the formula - Smoothed Position = Target Predicted Position+Position Smoothing Parameter*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position).
Can the Smoothed Position be negative?
No, the Smoothed Position, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Smoothed Position?
Smoothed Position is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Smoothed Position can be measured.
