A new method for target localization in MIMO radar is proposed. Localization of a moving, non-maneuvering target is possible by using Doppler-shift measurements and angle information in MIMO radar systems. This is a nonlinear problem and it must be solved for a grid search strategy. If the received frequencies and the angels between the target and the transmitter and the target and the receiver are known, we can search space grid by grid for desired (x, y) coordinates to find the position of the target in 2D space.

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...
Study on Q-RAM and Feasible Directions Based Methods for Resource Management in Phased Array Radar Systems
Irci, Ayhan; Saranlı, Afşar; Baykal, Buyurman (2010-10-01)
Our recent progress and results on optimal real-time resource allocation in phased array radar systems are reported. A previously proposed discrete resource allocation approach, the Quality of Service based Resource Allocation Model (Q-RAM), is analyzed and is observed to generate nonoptimal results. We identify the shortcomings of this method and first extend it using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions for the single resource type case. We obtain an algorithm that delivers a globally optima...
A Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform Algorithm Based on Unscented Transform as a Track-Before-Detect Method
Sahin, Gozde; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2014-07-10)
In this study, a new Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform technique is proposed for the detection of dim targets in radar data. Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform is a Track-Before-Detect method that fuses Hough Transform results obtained on (x-t), (y-t) and (x-y) domains. The proposed study models Hough Transform results in (x-t) and (y-t) domains by Gaussians and transforms these Gaussians to (x-y) domain using Unscented Transform. This improves the computational efficiency significantly without degrading per...
Frequency based target localization methods for MIMO radar
Kalkan, Yılmaz; Baykal, Buyurman (null; 2011-04-22)
A new frequency based target localization method is proposed for MIMO radars which are widely separated. The performance of this new method is compared with other frequency based target localization methods. For target localization, time of arrival (TOA), angle of arrival (AOA) and frequency of arrival (FOA) informations can be used in cooperation. In general, TOA information is enough to localize a target. However, when the time resolution of the transmitted signals is not enough or good,i.e.; unmodulated ...
An Optimal Radar Detector Threshold Adaptation for Maneuvering Targets in Clutter
Aslan, Murat Samil; Saranlı, Afşar (2009-04-11)
In this paper, we consider the problem of radar detector threshold optimization for maneuvering targets in clutter In the earlier works, the problem was studied in the context of the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) for non-maneuvering targets. In this study, we have extended the ideas, which were applied to the PDAF to the interacting multiple model PDAF (IMM-PDAF) for maneuvering targets. The proposed optimization problem and its solution show better results over the traditional approaches in ...
