Joint detection and tracking using multi-static doppler-shift measurements

The problem is to establish the presence and subsequently to track a target using multi-static Doppler shift measurements. The assumption is that in the surveillance volume of interest a single transmitter of known frequency is active with multiple spatially distributed receivers collecting and reporting Doppler-shift frequencies. The measurements are affected by additive noise and also contaminated by false detections. The paper develops a Bernoulli particle filter for this application and analyzes its performance by simulations.
