Abstract: a system processes radar signals to determine the relative position and motion of nearby objects. by directly processing a radar signal to estimate the range, velocity, and acceleration of an object, the system can more quickly and accurately determine the acceleration of an object. more precisely, the system may first process samples of a radar signal reflected from an object using a fourier transform. then, by using a coarse search method, the system can process the processed samples to quickly generate an initial estimate of an object's position and motion. then, by using an iterative optimization method, the system can refine the initial estimate of the object's position and motion to generate a final estimate of an object's position and motion.
