High-resolution multiple target angle tracking

An approach to high-resolution multiple-target-angle tracking is presented using the output of an array of sensors. The results of direction-of-arrival estimation of by eigenstructure analysis are extended to derive a recursive procedure for tracking moving sources. This procedure involves recursive eigenvalue decomposition and a zero-tracking algorithm using the coefficient derived from the minimum-norm criterion. This algorithm has superresolution capability in that a pair of closely spaced target angles can be resolved and tracked even though the angular separation between them is less than the reciprocal of the aperture size. Simulation results verify that the algorithm works well in tracking multiple target sources
