Abstract

In this research, usage of the Doppler measurement as well as range and azimuth in tracking filter measurement vector to improve the target tracking performance in 2D pulse-Doppler radar is investigated. Tracking filter measurement model becomes highly non-linear with the addition of Doppler measurement to the measurement vector. Tracking performances of EKF, UKF and PF under this high nonlinearity are investigated and compared against each other.
