contents This paper introduces a high-precision indoor positioning and tracking method that utilizes multi-site single-input single-output (SISO) radar systems. We propose a novel velocity synthesis-assisted (VSA) localization algorithm that iteratively refines target position estimates within range bins by fusing radial velocity measurements from multiple radars. This approach ensures enhanced accuracy in both velocity and position estimation. Moreover, the inherent geometric constraints introduced by velocity synthesis enable the proposed algorithm to remain robust under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), severe multipath propagation, and large synchronization latency. Notably, our method eliminates the use of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) configurations and stringent phase synchronization requirements, substantially reducing hardware complexity while maintaining high positioning accuracy. We define standardized reference trajectories to facilitate a comprehensive and reproducible performance evaluation. Extensive simulations and experimental validations demonstrate that our multi-site radar systems achieve centimeter-level tracking accuracy for human subjects, outperforming existing methods in complex trajectory tracking.
