Localization and tracking of agents for close range applications

This research investigates the state estimation problem in close-range involving multiple targets using Doppler Radar. As the main theme is based on measurements with linear sensor arrays, optimal sensor arrangements are studied for two most popular measurement technologies: Angle-of-Arrival and range based localization systems.
