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. Then, the data association is achieved for the known number of targets by using the estimated target velocities, directions and positions which can be utilized together or separately for data association. Using these parameters, three data association methods are proposed, namely "Position & Velocity Based", "Direction Based" and "Position, Velocity & Direction Based" Data Associations. Moreover, when probability of detection is less than unity, data association can still be achieved with some modifications. Besides that, another algorithm, referred to as "Frequency Reduction & Association", is proposed to eliminate spurious frequencies when they appear in the spectrum. These are the first data association methods for Doppler-only systems and they can be used efficiently when Doppler frequencies are only available information in the MIMO radar context. After received frequencies are associated with the correct targets, multiple target localization can be performed using the associated Doppler frequencies.

Tracker-aware adaptive detection: An efficient closed-form solution for the Neyman-Pearson case Aslan, Murat Samil; Saranlı, Afşar; Baykal, Buyurman (Elsevier BV, 2010-09-01) 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 appr...
Extended Target Tracking Using Polynomials With Applications to Road-Map Estimation Lundquist, Christian; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01) This paper presents an extended target tracking framework which uses polynomials in order to model extended objects in the scene of interest from imagery sensor data. State-space models are proposed for the extended objects which enables the use of Kalman filters in tracking. Different methodologies of designing measurement equations are investigated. A general target tracking algorithm that utilizes a specific data association method for the extended targets is presented. The overall algorithm must always ...
An Automatically Mode-Matched MEMS Gyroscope With Wide and Tunable Bandwidth Sonmezoglu, Soner; Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-04-01) This paper presents the architecture and experimental verification of the automatic mode-matching system that uses the phase relationship between the residual quadrature and drive signals in a gyroscope to achieve and maintain matched resonance mode frequencies. The system also allows adjusting the system bandwidth with the aid of the proportional-integral controller parameters of the sense-mode force-feedback controller, independently from the mechanical sensor bandwidth. This paper experimentally examines...
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...
Conjugate directions based order recursive implementation of post-Doppler adaptive target detectors Candan, Çağatay (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-08-01) An implementation for the post-Doppler adaptive target detectors enabling an efficient change of the subspace dimension is described. The proposed implementation uses the order recursive structure of the conjugate directions method and does not present any additional computational burden on the processor. The implementation can be particularly useful for the adaptive detectors with an indeterminate number of auxiliary vectors for the clutter covariance matrix estimation. Through the proposed method, the sub...
