ABSTRACT:
A system and method for implementing a maximum likelihood estimator for making a joint estimation of range, range rate, and acceleration of a target utilizing a pulse doppler radar. The MLE of target motion parameters are determined by keystone processing a baseband signal, and generating a first estimate of the motion parameters based on the processed signal. The first estimate is utilized to set up sampling intervals for the performance of a coarse search. Then a fine search is performed using Newton's method to determine the MLE.
