[C2] Arrayed MIMO RADAR
This project is concerned with the multi-target estimation using the MIMO radar system with co-located arrays in both the homogeneous clutter and non-homogeneous clutter environments where superresolution array processing techniques will be comprehensively investigated. This objective is motivated by the commercial and military needs for the radar systems which have high resolution location estimation and robustness against the jammers and noise. The consequences of the study on such problem will not only provide a basis for improved utilization, but would also lead to a faster expansion and deeper penetration of their applications in both military and civilian aviation.
MIMO radar is an emerging technology that is attracting the attention of researchers and practitioners, which employ multiple transmit signals and have the ability to jointly processing signals received at multiple receive antennas. "Co-located arrays" is a typical conÂ…guration in MIMO radar, which includes a transmitter-array (Tx-array) and a receiver-array (Rx-array) that both have arbitrary geometry. Moreover, the directions of a target with respect to both the Tx-array and the Rx-array are the same.
