Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method for Doppler-enhanced radar tracking, comprising:
transmitting a probe signal;
in response to reflection of the probe signal by a tracking target, at a radar array comprising a first plurality of radar elements positioned substantially along a first radar axis, receiving a reflected probe signal, wherein the tracking target and radar array cooperatively define a target vector from the radar array to the tracking target;
based on the reflected probe signal, determining a target range between the radar array and the tracking target;
based on the reflected probe signal, determining Doppler shift information, comprising:
determining a set of predicted target composite angles; and
for each predicted target composite angle of the set, determining a respective set of frequency domain outputs; and

based on the reflected probe signal and the Doppler shift information, determining an actual target composite angle; wherein the actual target composite angle is an angle between the target vector and a composite reference vector.
