Propagator Method-Based Joint Estimation of Angle and Polarization for Bistatic MIMO Radar with Polarization Sensitive Array

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper links the parameter estimation problem of polarization diversity bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar to propagator method (PM), and proposes an algorithm for joint estimation of direction-of-departure (DOD), direction-of-arrival (DOA) and polarization information for bistatic MIMO radars. PM algorithm is a low complexity algorithm since it requires no eigen-value decomposition (EVD) of the covariance matrix of the received data. The proposed algorithm can estimate the multiple parameter accurately, while achieve paired parameters estimation automatically. Through obtaining polarization information, MIMO radars can further increase the target location and identification accuracy. Simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
