Efficient sparse target tracking algorithm for navigation with UWB-OFDM radar sensors

Abstract

There is a great need to develop non-GPS based methods for position and navigation in situations where GPS is not available. This paper presents orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) radar signals. Originally designed as a broadband communications device, the OFDM radar will serve an additional function as a navigation system. The paper focuses on the development of a signal processing method for using to the OFDM signal in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) configuration, for potential use as a navigation sensor.
