Receiver selection for multi-target tracking in multi-static Doppler radar systems

Abstract This paper presents a novel receiver selection method for multi-target tracking in multi-static Doppler radar systems. The assumption is that in the surveillance volume of interest, a single transmitter with a known frequency is active and several spatially distributed radar receivers colle...
