Abstract

In this paper we apply a data association in track-before detect (TBD) with a polar Hough transform (PHT) in a radar network. The proposed algorithm is applied in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system. We study the sensitivity of TBD multi-radar system as a function of the errors of target trajectory parameters measurement. The results are obtained in the presence of Randomly Arriving Impulse Interference (RAII) and the target coordinates (range and azimuth) are measurable with and without errors. The study of the signal processing used in detectors is performed through Monte-Carlo simulations in MATLAB computing environment.
