Abstract :
The problem of estimating radar range derivatives using phase differences is considered. A minimum-variance, unbiased estimator is obtained. The resultant variances of the estimates so obtained are shown to be significantly lower than those of a least-squares estimator. Finally, a recursive form for the estimator is derived.
