Abstract :
In this paper, we perform a location estimation of scatterers using the MIMO radar. Specifically, we introduce into the MIMO radar the MUSIC algorithm which is the representative of nulling methods. In addition, we compare the performances between the MUSIC-based method and the conventional beamforming methods in the location estimation of scatterers, and clarify the performance difference between them.
