Algorithm 1. PF algorithm for 3D emitter location using azimuth and elevation measurements.
1. At each measurement point i=1, 2, , N, calculate the parameters necessary to determine the mean dimensions of the cuboid search space, i.e., Vxmin, Vxmax, Vymin, Vymax, Vzmin, and Vzmax, by solving Equations (15)–(25);
2. After collecting all azimuth and elevation angle measurements, generate a set of P particles uniformly distributed within the cuboid search space, according to Equations (26)–(28);
3. Compute azimuth and elevation angle predictions, i.e., θip and φip, for each particle, sp, according to Equations (29) and (30);
4. Compute the weight, wp, of each particle, sp, according to Equation (31);
5. Obtain the estimate of the emitter location, p^e, by Equation (32).
