Transmission and Receiver Double Smoothing for Multitarget Localization in MIMO Radar

Abstract:

The received echo signals from different targets are considered as coherent in the MIMO radar. In order to improve the performance of direction estimation of multiple targets in lower SNR for MIMO radar, a new algorithm termed Transmission and Receiver Double Smoothing (TRDS) is proposed. Compared with the Transmission Diversity Smoothing algorithm, TRDS can deal with more targets in lower SNR with higher resolution. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show the proposed method is effective.
