Abstract :
In this paper we discuss and compare different hierarchical search strategies for stationary radar target localization in the presence of white Gaussian noise. This is done in the context of a discretized version of the problem of optimal beam-forming, or radar transmit and receive pattern design. We assume that the target is equally likely to be in one of M discrete cells. We compare the performance of search strategies using the proposed approaches for beam-form design in target localization problems
