MIMO Radar Detection Performance Analysis

Abstract:

Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) radar is the recent emergence of a new radar technology. This radar system is a new concept advanced for the inadequacy of the traditional system, it use spatial diversity and angel diversity to avoid multipath fading. In this paper, we mainly analyze the detection performance of MIMO radar, and at the same time compared its detection performance with phased array radar under the same conditions. This paper first established MIMO radar’s signal model based on the distribution of sources, and then analyzes the affect of radar’s detection performance through changing the number of antenna. The simulation result showed that the MIMO radar has a good detection performance compared with phased array radar in low signal-noise-ratio(SNR).
