Study on radar data processing algorithm with improved Kalman filter

A data processing algorithm for the tracking and measurement radar is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm uses a 3rd order improved Kalman filter to implement federal filter for the range and velocity measurements, which can stably track the range and velocity, and can also accurately estimate the acceleration; on the other hand, the proposed algorithm uses two 2nd order improved Kalman filters with the same structure to implement filters for the elevation angle measurements and the azimuth angle measurements respectively, which can effectively ensure the measurement accuracies of the angle and the angular velocity. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can attain high accuracy of tracking and measurement for the range and the velocity, and that it also has high tracking accuracy for static, uniform, uniformly accelerated angular motion.
