Abstract
A system for estimating a range and a velocity of an object includes a processing device configured to perform, for each return pulse of a return signal including reflections of a radar signal, applying a first Fourier transform to the return pulse to transform the return pulse into a range spectrum and calculate a range intensity value for each of a plurality of range hypotheses, calculating a range variation for each of a plurality of hypothesized Doppler frequency values, and for each hypothesized Doppler frequency value, applying a second Fourier transform to the series of return pulses based on the range intensity values and the range variation. The processing device is further configured to perform outputting range and Doppler frequency data including a range-Doppler intensity value for each range hypothesis and hypothesized Doppler frequency, and estimating a range and a velocity of the object based on the range-Doppler intensity values.
