Posterior distribution preprocessing for passive DTV radar tracking: Simulated and real data

This work presents the results of a multistage tracking framework on two types of passive radar data. The framework consists of three stages: range/range rate tracking to reject clutter, a posterior distribution transmitter fusion step, and a JPDA-based tracker. The overall system is applied to a simulated passive DTV radar dataset which contains two sets of SFN transmitters. The simulated dataset includes range, range rate, and azimuth measurements. We also present results on a new passive DTV radar dataset, which includes multiple transmitters on different frequencies.
