In this article, a novel weighted multidimensional scaling (MDS) algorithm is proposed to estimate the position and velocity of a moving target by utilizing the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) measurements with sensor position and velocity errors. The proposed estimator is based on the optimization of a cost function related to the scalar product matrix in classical MDS. The estimator is accurate and closed form. The algorithm has a small mean square error compared with the 2-step weighted least squares (LS) algorithm in a moderate and high noise power level.

The solution is accurate and closed form. The results show that the proposed algorithm has small bias and minimum square error compared with the two-stage weighted least squares algorithm (2WLS) and constraint total least square algorithm (CTLS). The performance of the proposed method achieves the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) level in low base stations noise power.

This missing occurred due to limitation of power when the sensors are deployed in a large area. The Nystrom algorithm has overcome the classical multidimensional scaling in a low and moderate signal to noise ratio, in addition it performs well as the number of missing entries increase. The plotted figures show admissible consequences for the proposed algorithm.

widely used in positioning and navigation system recently.
The position estimation of a source through determining
time difference of arrival (TDOA) of its signal among
distributed sensors has many applications in civil as well
as in the military. According to civil aspect, in mobile
communication is widely used TDOA to perform location

using fixed base stations and also in costal stations is used
TDOA to estimate boats and ship's location using acoustic
waves. According the military aspect, it used to locate
enemy's emitting devices such as radars, communication
devices in the battle field. In this research paper we
analyse the performance of TDOA estimation for Binary
phase shift keying (BPSK) signals, the whole scenario for
estimating time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA)
