Search strategies for radar target localization

In this paper we discuss and compare different hierarchical search strategies for stationary radar target localization in the presence of white Gaussian noise. This is done in the context of a discretized version of the problem of optimal beam-forming, or radar transmit and receive pattern design. We assume that the target is equally likely to be in one of M discrete cells. We compare the performance of search strategies using the proposed approaches for beam-form design in target localization problems.
