Resource Allocation in MIMO Radar With Multiple Targets for Non-Coherent Localization

Power Allocation Strategies for MIMO Radar Waveform Design

The role of waveform design is central to effective radar resource management for state-of-the art radar systems. The waveform shape employed by any radar system has always been a key factor in determining the performance and application. The design of radar waveform to minimize mean square error (MSE) in estimating the target impulse response is based on power allocation using waterfilling. ...

Resource Allocation in Distributed MIMO Radar for Target Tracking

Tracking of Moving Targets with MIMO Radar

A linear array radar can be operated as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar or a directed beam radar. A MIMO radar transmits orthogonal waveforms on each array element, which can achieve virtual aperture extension. Compared to a directed beam radar, MIMO radar requires longer integration times to maintain the same energy on target. This results in narrower Doppler bins but increased r...

Resource Allocation for Tracking Multiple Targets Using Particle Filters

Particle filters have been very widely used to track targets in video sequences. However, they suffer from an exponential rise in the number of particles needed to jointly track multiple targets. On the other hand, using multiple independent filters to track in crowded scenes often leads to erroneous results. We present a new particle filtering framework which uses an intelligent resource alloc...

On Receive Filter Design for Coherent MIMO Radar with Non-Ideal Waveforms

In this paper, we consider the problem of coherent multiple-input multiple-output radar receive filter design. If the transmitted radar waveforms do not have the desired ideal autoand cross-correlation properties, the signal at the output of a matched filter (MF) can suffer severe interference due to targets in neighboring range-Doppler bins. Existing receive filter design approaches, e.g., ins...
