Particle filter algorithm for tracking manoeuvring target using FM signal

International audienceIn order to introduce the particle filter techniques in the passive radar detection and tracking, we present in this correspondence a comparison between classical technique of tracking that uses a maxima search in the range/Doppler grid-space, and then estimates the target position using an extended Kalman filter and a proposed particle filter that uses directly the correlation output. The passive radar receives the signals of FM stations that propagate and reflect on a manoeuvring targe
