    摘要: A method and system for locating objects in a region having a high degree of multipath susceptibility comprises a plurality of transducers, each being a transmit or receive antenna, and being arranged about the region in known locations, to form a bistatic or multistatic radar, with some embodiments being MIMO systems. Signals transmitted by the transmit antenna(s) are received at each receive antenna and processed to form a set of channel impulse responses, or power delay profiles, representative of the region at a given time. A second set is formed at a different time, and the difference between the two sets is calculated, the difference containing information on movement within the region. The difference may be processed to localize the moving object(s) by graphical means, e.g. by generating an x-y image representative of the region, and accumulating at each pixel appropriate values of the profile difference selected according to the propagation delay between a transmit-receive antenna pair via a region point represented by the pixel.

    摘要: A method for processing returns from a sensor, such as a radar system, in order to identify targets is provided. The method uses a track before detect routine to integrate data from several scans in order to give better discrimination. In running the track before detect routine however a number of possible target motions are postulated and the data combined accounting for such motions. A result above a threshold may then be indicative to a target present and moving with the postulated velocity. The method gives more accurate target detection as the combined data at the correct target motion postulate is more consistent than transient noise and clutter. Once a target has been identified it is preferably removed from the data set in searching for additional targets.
