Abstract
A radar system, comprising: a receive antenna configured to receive a receive signal reflected from a bullet, the receive signal exhibiting a Doppler shift according to the motion of the bullet; and a detector implementing a set of matched filters each configured to determine a measure of correlation between the Doppler shift of the receive signal and one of a set of pre-stored Doppler shifts, wherein each of the pre-stored Doppler shifts respectively represents the Doppler shift of a bullet passing the antenna at a different speed or a distance of a point of closest approach.
