Acquisition System Particularly Suited for Tracking Targets Having High Bearing Rates

Abstract

An apparatus for a bearing tracker is disclosed that provides improved estimates of target's bearing, bearing rate and signal-to-noise (SNR). The estimates are computed using normalized beam spectral data from short time interval preceding the initialization process.
