Title
Maneuvering target altitude tracking in over-the-horizon radars exploiting multipath Doppler signatures
Abstract
Over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) systems provide wide-area surveillance capabilities to detect and track targets far beyond the range of conventional line-of-sight radars. Because of the narrowband waveforms, OTHR systems do not achieve reliable altitude estimation. In this paper, we develop a new technique to track the instantaneous altitude of maneuvering targets by exploiting the estimated multi-component Doppler signatures. The main contribution of this paper is to apply effective non-stationary signal analysis for estimating the time-varying Doppler signature of each individual multipath, which is then applied to an extended Kalman filter to reliably track the instantaneous target altitude.
