Abstract

The stability of a model of the dynamics of a class of split-gate radar range trackers is considered, under both deterministic and stochastic target models. The emphasis is on stability as a means toward studying the dynamics of the tracker in the presence of both an actual target and a decoy target. The model employed reflects Automatic Gain Control action for noise attenuation as well as nonlinear detector laws for target resolution. The deterministic and stochastic stability of track points are studied using deterministic and stochastic Liapunov functions, and stochastic bifurcation issues are discussed.
