MIMO Radar Target Detection Performance Analysis with Unknown Parameters

Abstract:

Motivated by the development of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication, MIMO radar has drawn considerable attention. While, to design of MIMO radar detector, transmitting signal power and noise are usually assumed known in advance, but in practice we may need to estimate the transmitting signal power and noise first. In this paper, we introduce MIMO radar target performance analysis with unknown parameters. First transmitting signal energy is estimated by Maximum likelihood Estimation(MLE) when multipath satisfy special diversity condition and multipath has low rank. Then the detector in the Neyman-Pearson is developed and analyzed with estimated parameters. The simulation results show that the performance with unknown parameters is approximate to the detector with known parameters. The method proposed in this paper can be used to design the MIMO radar detectors with unknown parameters.
