Abstract
A radar system for tracking an object in a scene by transmitting frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) is provided. The radar system is configured to collect radar measurements of the scene sampled in a time-frequency domain within an intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth to which reflection of the transmitted FMCW is shifted by mixing with a copy of the FMCW, where a frequency dimension of the time-frequency domain is quantized into multiple frequency bins forming the frequency bandwidth, where a time dimension of the time-frequency domain is quantized into multiple time instances forming a time interval corresponding to the PRI, count a number of amplitude peaks of the radar measurements for each frequency bin at different instances of time, identify a number of frequency bins with their counts of the number of peaks above a pre-determined threshold, and determine at least a distance to the object based on frequency analysis of the radar measurements.
