A method is discussed for tracking the radar cross-section centroid of an ensemble of scatterers, using a raster scan observation technique. Estimation of the mean-squared dimensions of the ensemble is also considered. A maximum permissible beam separation is defined for the scan. Expressions for the bias and variance of the centroid estimates are given. Advantages of the approach are that individual scatterers need not be resolvable, and that the number of beams is independent of the number of scatterers.
