Abstract:
1. A method of tracking at least one moving target with a radar device without requiring the use of Doppler information, the method comprising the steps of: scanning an area with radar signals at a first time to receive a first plurality of target data signals indicative of a position of the target at the first time; determining the position of the target at the first time by collecting the first plurality of target data signals into a first target data grouping, such that the first target data grouping defines a first reference point; scanning the area with radar signals at a second time, that is different than the first time, to receive a second plurality of target data signals indicative of a position of the target at the second time; determining the position of the target at the second time by collecting the second plurality of target data signals into a second target data grouping, such that the second target data grouping defines a second reference point; and comparing the position of the first reference point to the position of the second reference point to track the moving target, such that no Doppler information is required when comparing the first and second reference points.
