-using :
+short time correlation
+ signal amplitude.
+Space-time
adaptive processing (STAP) or Doppler processing can be employed to
reduce the effects
of clutter
-remove:
+false alarms,clutter.
Tracking processing
-using :
+Doppler processing
-remove:
+false tracks.
measurements
-estimate position : calculated position from measurements.
-a measurement(dots,a plot ):a dwelt target have range,bearing ,elevation..
-merged measurement : a measurement of two target.
-resolved measurement: : a measurement of a target.
-tracks have predicted position and estimate position,angle.
-validation region (gates): for predicted measurement. Measurement closest to predicted position is used to update track
-a measurement belongs to 2 target will be defined as merged measurement of one target and false measurement to the other target.

Measurements
(target in a dwelt)
to update track
Declare false measurement
Tracking process {tracks can be formed from targets,clutter, electronic
countermeasurements-ECM (environment), false alarms(receiver noise )}.
-so tracks could be larger (extra)or smaller (missed) than targets(real objects).
-estimate always have uncertainty detection, resolution, association, and filtering
-estimate position is used to create predited measurement

to track data
association
-Using measurement in track to create
position estimate ,predicted position
-estimate position has covariance(sai lech)
Track filtering
-input track(tentative

Range resolution=

Start of receive oscillator:
-center of T

-duration =receive pulse width.

----Phase is used to know position and motion of target --amplitude is used to know size,shape of the target
