Methods for resolving radar ambiguities using multiple hypothesis tracking

Methods for resolving radar ambiguities using multiple hypothesis tracking are described. One such method includes (a) choosing a single waveform for each of a plurality of dwells of a first scan, wherein the single waveforms of consecutive scans are different, (b) generating the first scan using th...

Summary:Methods for resolving radar ambiguities using multiple hypothesis tracking are described. One such method includes (a) choosing a single waveform for each of a plurality of dwells of a first scan, wherein the single waveforms of consecutive scans are different, (b) generating the first scan using the single waveform for each of the dwells of the first scan, (c) receiving observation data as a result of the first scan, the observation data comprising measured positions of true targets and false targets, (d) generating, using multiple hypothesis tracking, position predictions for true targets and false targets, (e) comparing the predicted positions and measured positions, repeating (a)-(e) until a preselected process condition is met, and determining the true targets based on the results of the comparisons.
