Smoothed Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position)
vs = vs(n-1)+β/Ts*(xn-xpn)
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Smoothed Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Smoothed Velocity is the smoothed estimate of target's present velocity on the basis of the past detections by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
(n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity is the smoothed estimate of target's velocity at the n-1 th scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Velocity Smoothing Parameter - Velocity Smoothing Parameter is the tuning parameter which is used to improve the quality of smoothed velocity estimated by the track-while-scan surveillance radar to avoid noisy measurements.
Time between Observations - (Measured in Second) - Time between observations is the time taken between two successive observations made by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Measured Position at Nth Scan - (Measured in Meter) - Measured position at Nth scan is the measured or actual position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Target Predicted Position - (Measured in Meter) - Target Predicted Position is the predicted or estimated position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
(n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity: 11 Meter per Second --> 11 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity Smoothing Parameter: 8 --> No Conversion Required
Time between Observations: 320 Second --> 320 Second No Conversion Required
Measured Position at Nth Scan: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Target Predicted Position: 74 Meter --> 74 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
vs = vs(n-1)+β/Ts*(xn-xpn) --> 11+8/320*(6-74)
Evaluating ... ...
vs = 9.3
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
9.3 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
9.3 Meter per Second <-- Smoothed Velocity

What is migration velocity?

Migration velocity, also known as radial migration velocity or ground clutter migration velocity, is a phenomenon that occurs when radar signals reflect from moving ground clutter or stationary targets. When the radar antenna is scanning or the platform (such as an aircraft or ship) carrying the radar is moving, these ground clutter echoes can appear to be displaced or shifted in frequency due to the relative motion between the clutter and the radar platform.

How to Calculate Smoothed Velocity?

Smoothed Velocity calculator uses Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position) to calculate the Smoothed Velocity, The Smoothed Velocity formula is the smoothed estimate of target's present velocity on the basis of the past detections by the track-while-scan surveillance radar. Smoothed Velocity is denoted by vs symbol.

FAQ

What is Smoothed Velocity?
The Smoothed Velocity formula is the smoothed estimate of target's present velocity on the basis of the past detections by the track-while-scan surveillance radar and is represented as vs = vs(n-1)+β/Ts*(xn-xpn) or Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position). (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity is the smoothed estimate of target's velocity at the n-1 th scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar, Velocity Smoothing Parameter is the tuning parameter which is used to improve the quality of smoothed velocity estimated by the track-while-scan surveillance radar to avoid noisy measurements, Time between observations is the time taken between two successive observations made by the track-while-scan surveillance radar, Measured position at Nth scan is the measured or actual position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar & Target Predicted Position is the predicted or estimated position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
How to calculate Smoothed Velocity?
The Smoothed Velocity formula is the smoothed estimate of target's present velocity on the basis of the past detections by the track-while-scan surveillance radar is calculated using Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position). To calculate Smoothed Velocity, you need (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity (vs(n-1)), Velocity Smoothing Parameter (β), Time between Observations (Ts), Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) & Target Predicted Position (xpn). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity, Velocity Smoothing Parameter, Time between Observations, Measured Position at Nth Scan & Target Predicted Position and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
