A method includes transmitting a first transmitted signal corresponding to a first range rate window size; receiving a first received signal; determining a first detected range rate of an object based on the first received signal; transmitting a second transmitted signal corresponding to a second range rate window size; receiving a second received signal; determining a second detected range rate of the object based on the second received signal; computing a first range rate window index based on a first range rate window index difference; in accordance with a determination that the first range rate window index meets predefined criteria, computing an estimated range rate based on the first range rate window index difference; and in accordance with a determination that the first range rate window index does not meet the predefined criteria, foregoing computing an estimated range rate based on the first range rate window index difference.
