Abstract :
A radar angle-tracking system for tracking multiple moving targets is proposed which generates the instantaneous optimal estimates of angles regardless of angle dynamics, reducing the computational burden and eliminating the effect of the time-varying parameters on the angle estimation. However, it is shown that the angle data generated by the angle-tracking system are sufficient to construct the optimal estimator of the time-varying angles of multiple targets in any dynamic motions
