In this paper, novel association and fusion methods for range-azimuth tracks are proposed. The association method requires calculating the distance between two tracks that lack elevation information. An iterative algorithm is proposed to find the closest distance between the two arcs defined by the range azimuth tracks. This procedure provides elevation information for track pairs, which is also used for the track fusion process. The performance of the algorithms is illustrated in experiments with simulated and real data.

Radar performance analysis approaches for the evaluation of radar systems Yener, Ümit; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In this thesis study, some approaches are proposed for radar performance analysis. It turns out that average power and antenna aperture area (equivalently, antenna gain) are the most important parameters for the assessment or comparison of radar systems. Search and track load concepts and the utilization trade between search and tracking tasks in multifunction radars are also presented. For long distance search / tracking tasks, performance of a two-radar system is analyzed, and it is shown that cross range...
Dynamic Quantization for Track Fusion Under Communication Constraints Gok, Gorkem; Orguner, Umut (2015-05-19) A new quantization approach is proposed for track fusion in fusion systems under communication constraints. The quantization algorithm used in practice for track fusion is a static nearest neighbor approach which selects the closest vector and the covariance in a table to the current track information. The quantization algorithm proposed here involves posing the quantization problem in an optimization framework and solving it by also including the predicted future values of the track into the picture. Since...
Target Localization and Velocity Estimation Methods for Frequency-Only MIMO Radars Kalkan, Yilmaz; Baykal, Buyurman (2011-05-27) Target localization and the velocity estimation methods are proposed for frequency-only MIMO Radar with widely separated stations. For the target localization, time of arrival (TOA), angle of arrival (AOA) and frequency of arrival (FOA) informations can be used in cooperation. When the time resolution of the transmitted signals is not enough or good,i.e.; unmodulated CW radar, we can not rely on the TOA information to localize the target. On the other hand, if the frequency resolution of the transmitted sig...
Feedback motion planning of unmanned surface vehicles via random sequential composition Ege, Emre; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (SAGE Publications, 2019-08-01) In this paper, we propose a new motion planning method that aims to robustly and computationally efficiently solve path planning and navigation problems for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Our approach is based on synthesizing two different existing methodologies: sequential composition of dynamic behaviours and rapidly exploring random trees (RRT). The main motivation of this integrated solution is to develop a robust feedback-based and yet computationally feasible motion planning algorithm for USVs. In ...
Comments on "Propagation Modeling Over Irregular Terrain by the Improved Two-Way Parabolic Equation Method" Ozgun, Ozlem; Apaydin, Gokhan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Sevgi, Levent (2014-07-01) The above paper [1] is about the two-way split-step parabolic equation method (2W-SSPE) over irregular terrain, and claims that they have developed the “improved” version of the 2W-SSPE approach that has been proposed and validated by us in literature [2]-[11]. The paper [1] claims to derive the 2W-PE directly from 2D Helmholtz equation. They do this by listing and explaining equations (1)-(9). The authors needed to state that this is quite different from the formulation given in Levy's book (reference [9] ...
