Bi-station multi-target tracking using range and doppler measurements

The azimuthal measurements of the high frequency ground wave radar are poor in an actual environment, which can cause the plots highly decentralized and damage the formation of the over-the-horizon tracks. To solve the problem, a new radar system is proposed to triangulate target tracks using range and Doppler measurements only. On the basis of the analysis of the characteristics of the range-finding location, a multi-target tracking algorithm under non-clutter condition is given in this paper, which further improves the tracking algorithm of this system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of this method. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
