In this paper, a weighted least squares (WLS) method is presented to find the location of a single target by the use of bistatic range (BR) measurements in multistatic passive radar. The proposed method is based on the idea of eliminating the nuisance parameter. Then, the method employs several WLS minimizations to obtain the target location estimate. The weighting matrix producing a significant improvement in the performance of the method is derived in two different conditions-one of them results in the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the other one leads to the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE). The accuracy properties of the method are analyzed, and the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for target localization accuracy is also derived. In addition, in a two-dimensional space and in the case of localizing with one transmitter and the minimal number of receivers, the different placements of receivers are analytically determined, in each of which the location solution is not unique. Furthermore, from different aspects, the BR-based localization is compared to the hyperbolic localization derived from range difference (RD) measurements.
