      The goal Objective of the course is for the students to understand basic techniques for design of radar system for multiple target tracking, as well as to understand the structure and purpose of the segments that constitute such complex system.
      The outcome Students should gain the skills to design the systems for data association, filtration of radar signals, definition of gate functions and tracks management.
      Contents
      Contents of lectures The structure of MTT system; Techniques for radar signals filtration: filters with constant coefficients, Kalman filtering; Data association techniques: suboptimal approaches, approaches based on probability theory and Bayesian theorem; The choice and design of gating functions; Management of the tracks.
      Contents of exercises Student has an obligation to, using by MATLAB, design a simple simulator of radar and its environment, and for so generated measurements, design MTT system with all necessary elements.
