Abstract
The effects of mutual coupling between antenna elements are considered with regard to the impact upon co-located MIMO radar emissions. Because this sensing scheme intentionally couples the spatial and fast-time (waveform) domains, it is shown that MIMO radar is sensitive to any electromagnetic mutual coupling effects that are not adequately characterized in the transmit array manifold. This sensitivity leads to mismatch that will degrade the radars sensitivity on receive.
