| Summary: | Abstract This study introduces a new scheme for resolving the ambiguity in a pulse‐Doppler radar. While ambiguity resolution is typically performed before tracking, the proposed approach, Track‐Before‐Resolving, is resolving ambiguity utilising tracking filters. A specific Doppler ambiguity resolution algorithm is provided for demonstrating that the Track‐Before‐Resolving method is useful. In order to resolve the ambiguity, which is equivalent to finding the ambiguity number, this algorithm investigates the maximum probability calculated in the multiple model estimation, each with a tracking filter of a different ambiguity number. Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm performs effectively, even at low SNR. |
