Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for radar detection. A radar device may obtain prior information about known targets including an azimuth angle of each known target. The radar device may generate an association aware transmit beam pattern toward at least a subset of the known targets based on the prior information. The radar device may detect targets from reflected beams of the association aware transmit beam pattern. Generating the association aware transmit beam pattern may include generating a partial ambiguity graph for the known targets, the graph including at least one edge connecting two known targets wherein a difficulty of disambiguating the two known targets is greater than a threshold. The graph also includes at least two known targets that are not connected by an edge.
