Abstract :
The CRLB for the estimation of the targetpsilas direction is presented for a MIMO radar scheme. The parameters of a real antenna array is incorporated in the formulation. The CRLB is obtained by deriving the distribution of collected data at the receiving side followed by deriving the FIM. As an example, a 4-element linear DRA array is investigated in a MIMO-Radar context by quantitative exploring the CRLB for angle estimation.
