Abstract

A MIMO (multi-input multi-output) radar system, unlike standard phased-array radar, can transmit via its antennas multiple probing signals. This waveform diversity offered by MIMO radar enables superior capabilities compared with a standard phased-array radar. We consider MIMO radar waveform optimization for parameter estimation for the general case of multiple targets in the presence of spatially colored interference and noise. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approaches we consider herein.
