In this thesis, the radar pulse repetition interval (PRI) tracking with Kalman Filter problem is investigated. The most common types of PRIs are constant PRI, step (jittered) PRI, staggered PRI, sinusoidally modulated PRI. This thesis considers the step (this type of PRI agility is called as constant PRI when the jitter on PRI values is eliminated) and staggered PRI cases. Different algorithms have been developed for tracking step and staggered PRIs cases. Some useful simplifications are obtained in the algorithm developed for step PRI sequence. Two different algorithms robust to the effects of missing pulses obtained for staggered PRI sequence are compared according to estimation performances. Both algorithms have two parts: detection of the period part and a Kalman filter model. The advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms are presented. Simulations are implemented in MATLAB.
