Space-time coding (STC) has been shown to play a key role in the design of MIMO radars with closely spaced antennas. Multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) radar is emerging technology for target detection, parameter identification, and target classification due to diversity of waveform and perspective. First, it turns out that a joint waveform optimization problem can be decoupled into a set of...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel scheme for multi-static passive radar processing, based on soft-input soft-output processing and Bayesian sparse estimation. In this scheme, each receiver estimates the probability of target presence based on its received signal and the prior information received from a central processor. The resulting posterior target probabilities are transmitted to the c...

In this lecture, we provide an overview of some recent algorithms for radar waveform design. We first illustrate the concept of matched illumination for optimized target detection and identification. This theory derives the optimized transmission signal and the corresponding receiver response which maximizes the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The second part of the lecture is focused on waveform ...

Inspired by recent advances in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, this proposal introduces the statistical MIMO radar concept. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the statistical MIMO is being proposed for radar. The fundamental difference between statistical MIMO and other radar array systems is that the latter seek to maximize the coherent processing gain, while s...

A radar system is generally implemented and addressed to detect the target of concern. So, in a radar system, analysis and application of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) signals solves most of the problems of radar target detection. Since multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar possess significant potentials for fading mitigation, resolution enhancement and interference and jamming suppression, by op...

Spatial beamforming is an efficient way to realize dual-functional radar-communication (DFRC). In this paper, we study the DFRC design for a general scenario, where base station (BS) simultaneously detects target as multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar while communicating with multiple multi-antenna communication users (CUs). This necessitates joint transceiver both MIMO and multi-user (...

In this paper, the problem of mainlobe deceptive jammer suppression is solved with frequency diversity array-multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar system. At modeling stage, based on FDA-MIMO radar, a quadratic phase code (QPC) applied along slow time dimension in transmit array. receiver, after decoding and principal range compensation, true false targets that are generated an identi...
