Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments that relate to crossing target dynamics for a radar system. In one aspect, the present application describes a method for use with a radar system. The method includes transmitting at least one signal pulse. The method also includes receiving a signal associated with reflection of the at least one transmitted signal pulse. Further, the method may also include processing the received signal to determine a cross-range rate. The processing may include determining a Doppler bandwidth based on the received signal. Additionally, the processing may include determining a range based on the received signal. Yet further, the processing may include determining a cross-range extent based on the received signal. Additionally, the processing may include determining the cross-range rate for the target object based on the determined Doppler bandwidth, range, and cross-range extent. An autonomous vehicle may be controlled based on the determined cross-range rate.
