Abstract

During the period 2007-2011, the Microwave Sensing, Signals and Systems (MS3) division of TU Delft developed PARSAX, a high resolution FMCW research radar. Since it moves relatively slow, and it cannot utilize techniques such as monopulse or conical scanning, it is unable to track aircraft by itself. An external source of information is needed, which is provided by ADS-B, a technique which allows aircraft to broadcast their own position and velocity at regular intervals. This thesis presents the development of a tracking algorithm which can be used to automatically track aircraft with PARSAX by using the information sent via ADS-B.
