Abstract

The present invention relates to active sensor applications, and more particularly is directed to efficient systems and methods for detection and tracking of one or more targets. The invention provides a method for receiving signals reflected from one or more targets, processing the received signals and the transmitted signal to compute two or more slices of the cross ambiguity function associated with the signals, and estimating the signal delay and the Doppler shit associated with the targets from the computed slices.
