Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This paper studies the three-dimensional localization problem of battlefield surveillance radar, and puts forward a new method to improve the vertical resolution of 2-D radar by introducing RIS technology. This research is innovative and instructive in the field of radar signal processing. In this paper, the RIS-aided three-dimensional localization method is introduced in detail, including the construction of the system, the formation of auxiliary measurement channels and the solution process based on convex optimization method. The content of the paper is complete, and the structure of the paper is reasonable. The language expression is accurate, and conforms to academic norms, which has certain reference value for the research in related fields. The following are the amendments:

Comments 1: In this paper, three classes of existing algorithms are introduced, which have the problems of high cost or poor real-time performance. Why can the introduction of the RIS overcome these problems?

 

Comments 2: RIS has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years, and it is suggested that some updated references can be added related to its application on the radar system.

 

Comments 3: l.129: The full name of CRLB has appeared in line 123, which is repeated in line 129.

 

Comments 4: l.250: In Eq. 17, only the upper limit of X and Y have been given. Considering the height limitation of the actual aircraft, it is suggested to set an upper limit for Z as well. This can reflect the actual situation more accurately and ensure that the formula has higher applicability in practical application.

 

Comments 5: l.303: There is some confusion about Eq. 22. What does I(Xk) stand for? Maybe, it has some relationship with Ik(Xk)?

 

Comments 6: l.481: By comparing (a) and (b) in Figure 8, it is concluded that the localization accuracy will decrease with the increase of the site error. However, these two figures are similar, and this conclusion is not obvious. It is suggested whether other results can be added.
