Target Localization Using Double-Sided Bistatic Range Measurements in Distributed MIMO Radar Systems

초록

We develop a novel approach improving existing target localization algorithms for distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars based on bistatic range measurements (BRMs). In the proposed algorithms, we estimate the target position with auxiliary parameters consisting of both the target-transmitter distances and the target-receiver distances (hence, double-sided) in contrast to the existing BRM methods. Furthermore, we apply the double-sided approach to multistage BRM methods. Performance improvements were demonstrated via simulations and a limited theoretical analysis was attempted for the ideal two-dimensional case.
