A promising line of research for radar systems attempts to optimize the detector thresholds so as to maximize the overall performance of a radar detector-tracker pair. In the present work, we attempt to move in a direction to fulfill this promise by considering a particular dynamic optimization scheme which relies on a non-simulation performance prediction (NSPP) methodology for the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF), namely, the modified Riccati equation (MRE). By using a suitable functional approximation, we propose a closed-form solution for the special case of a Neyman-Pearson (NP) detector. The proposed solution replaces previously proposed iterative solution formulations and results in dramatic improvement in computational complexity without sacrificed system performance. Moreover, it provides a theoretical lower bound on the detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) concerning when the whole tracking system should be switched to the track before detect (TBD) mode.

Target Tracking With Particle Filters Under Signal Propagation Delays Orguner, Umut (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-06-01) Signal propagation delays are hardly a problem for target tracking with standard sensors such as radar and vision due to the fact that the speed of light is much higher than the speed of the target. This contribution studies the case where the ratio of the target and the propagation speed is not negligible, as in the case of sensor networks with microphones, geophones or sonars for instance, where the signal speed in air, ground and water causes a state dependent and stochastic delay of the observations. Th...
Radar target classification method with reduced aspect dependency and improved noise performance using multiple signal classification algorithm SEÇMEN, MUSTAFA; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2009-12-01) This study introduces a novel aspect and polarisation invariant radar target classification method based on the use of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for feature extraction. In the suggested method, for each candidate target at each designated reference aspect, feature matrices called 'MUSIC spectrum matrices (MSMs)' are constructed using the target's scattered data at different late-time intervals. An individual MSM corresponds to a map of a target's natural resonance-related power distri...
Transmit beamformer design with a PAPR constraint to trade-off between beampattern shape and power efficiency Çayır, Ömer; Candan, Çağatay (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) This study examines the effect of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) constraint on the transmit beamformer design problem with the goal of establishing a trade-off between the power efficiency (maximizing the average transmitted power) and other metrics such as the power level fluctuation in mainlobe, peak-sidelobe level (PSL), etc. Typically, unimodular weights are utilized in transmit beamforming to maximize the average transmitted power. Yet, unimodular weights maximize the power efficiency at the expens...
Tracker-aware detection : a theoretical and an experimental study Aslan, Murat Şamil; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) A promising line of research attempts to bridge the gap between detector and tracker by means of considering jointly optimal parameter settings for both of these subsystems. Along this fruitful path, this thesis study focuses on the problem of detection threshold optimization in a tracker-aware manner so that a feedback from the tracker to the detector is established to maximize the overall system performance. Special emphasis is given to the optimization schemes based on two non-simulation performance pred...
Multiple target localization & data association for frequency-only widely separated MIMO radar Kalkan, Yilmaz; Baykal, Buyurman (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-01) The multiple target localization using only Doppler frequencies in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar is a problem of great interest. The Doppler frequencies include all relevant information about the location, velocity and direction of the targets. Hence, these frequencies can be used efficiently for data association and target localization. The MIMO configuration and the frequency diversity of the system enable us to easily determine the number of moving targets using only the Doppler frequencies...
