Abstract

System and method for adaptive target estimation in a radar system include: receiving a range-Doppler map (RDM) of a plurality of radar return signals; detecting N strongest signals in the RDM, wherein N is an integer greater than zero; removing the detected N strongest signals from the RDM by orthogonalizing the data in the RDM; storing information about the removed N strongest signals in a memory; repeating the steps of detecting, removing, and storing until a stopping criteria is met; when the stopping criteria is met, repopulating the RDM with the stored information about N strongest signals in the RDM to obtain a final RDM; and detecting targets using the final RDM.
