We study the problem of angle estimation for a bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling and proposed a joint algorithm for angles and mutual coupling estimation with the characteristics of uniform linear arrays and subspaces exploitation. We primarily obtain an initial estimate of DOA and DOD, then employ the local one-dimensional searching to estimate exactly DOA and DOD, and finally evaluate the parameters of mutual coupling coefficients via the estimated angles. Exploiting twice of the one-dimensional local searching, our method has much lower computational cost than the algorithm in (Liu and Liao (2012)), and automatically obtains the paired two-dimensional angle estimation. Slightly better performance for angle estimation has been achieved via our scheme in contrast to (Liu and Liao (2012)), while the two methods indicate very close performance of mutual coupling estimation. The simulation results verify the algorithmic effectiveness of our scheme.

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is studied, and an algorithm for the DOA estimation based on root multiple signal classification (MUSIC) is proposed. Firstly, according to the Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, output data of some specified sensors are selected to eliminate the influence of the mutual coupling. Then the reduced-dimension transformation is applied to make the computation burden lower as well as obtain a Vandermonde structure of the direction matrix. Finally, Root-MUSIC can be adopted for the angle estimation. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm and MUSIC-like algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has lower complexity than them. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, and the theoretical estimation error of the algorithm is also derived.

In this paper, joint direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is studied. An improved propagator calculation method is proposed to overcome the performance degradation problem when signal to noise ratio (SNR) is low. Thereafter, according to the Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, the rotational invariance can be extracted for the angle estimation regardless of the mutual coupling from the augmented propagator matrix. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm and conventional PM-like method, and angles are automatically paired. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

In this paper, we address the problem of angle estimation in a bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar which exploits nonuniform linear array at both the transmitter and the receiver with small number of antennas. It is demonstrated that the conventional trilinear decomposition-based angle estimation algorithm can identify only a comparatively small number of targets under this condition. In order to increase the number of identifiable targets, we derive an expanded trilinear decomposition-based angle estimation algorithm for MIMO radar, which can expand the size of the trilinear model. The proposed algorithm not only has the advantages of not requiring spectral peak searching, nor additional pair matching and being suitable for nonuniform arrays, but also identifies more targets than the conventional trilinear decomposition-based angle estimation algorithm under the same conditions. Moreover, the angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the conventional trilinear decomposition-based angle estimation algorithm and the estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and improvement of the proposed algorithm.

In the paper, the estimation of joint direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) for strictly noncircular targets in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is considered, and a tensor-based angle estimation method is proposed. In the proposed method, making use of the banded symmetric Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, the influence of the unknown mutual coupling is removed in the tensor domain. Then, a special enhancement tensor is formulated to capture both the noncircularity and inherent multidimensional structure of strictly noncircular signals. After that, the higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) technology is applied for estimating the tensor-based signal subspace. Finally, the direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is obtained by utilizing the rotational invariance technique. Due to the use of both noncircularity and multidimensional structure of the detected signal, the algorithm in this paper has better angle estimation performance than other subspace-based algorithms. The experiment results verify that the method proposed has better angle estimation performance.

Ideal array responses are often desirable to a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. Unfortunately, it may not be guaranteed in practice as the mutual coupling (MC) effects always exist. Current works concerning MC in the MIMO system only account for the uniform array geometry scenario. In this paper, we generalize the issue of angle estimation and MC self-calibration in a bistatic MIMO system in the case of arbitrary sensor geometry. The MC effects corresponding to the transmit array and the receive array are modeled by two MC matrices with several distinct entities. Angle estimation is then recast to a linear constrained quadratic problem. Inspired by the MC transformation property, a multiple signal classification- (MUSIC-) like strategy is proposed, which can estimate the direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) via two individual spectrum searches. Thereafter, the MC coefficients are obtained by exploiting the orthogonality between the signal subspace and the noise subspace. The proposed method is suitable for arbitrary sensor geometry. Detailed analyses with respect to computational complexity, identifiability, and Cramer-Rao bounds (CRBs) are provided. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) radar systems have advantages over traditional phased-array radar in resolution, parameter identifiability, and target detection. However, the estimation performance of the direction of arrivals (DOAs) and the direction of departures (DODs) will be significantly degraded for a colocated MIMO radar system with unknown mutual coupling matrix (MCM). Although auxiliary sensors (AS) can be set to solve this problem, the computational cost of two-dimensional multiple signal classification (2D-MUSIC) is still large. In this paper, a new angle estimation method is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. First, a local-search range is defined for each initial angle estimation obtained by the MUSIC with AS method. Second, the new estimation of DOAs and DODs of the targets is estimated via the joint estimation theory of angle and mutual coupling coefficient in the local search area. Simulation results validate that the proposed method can obtain the same precision and have the advantage over the global searching in computational complexity.

A low complexity unitary estimating signal parameter via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm is presented for angle estimation in bistatic multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar. The devised algorithm only requires calculating two submatrices covariance matrix, which reduces the computation cost in comparison with subspace methods. Moreover, the signal subspace can be efficiently acquired by exploiting the NystrÖm method, which only needs O M N K 2 flops. Thus, the presented algorithm has an essentially diminished computational effort, especially useful when K ≪ M N , while it can achieve efficient angle estimation accuracy as well as the existing algorithms. Several theoretical analysis and simulation results are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed scheme.

Polynomial Rooting

A method of direction of arrival (DOA) and direction of departure (DOD) angle estimation based on polynomial rooting for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with uniform circular array (UCA) configuration is proposed in this paper. The steering vector of the UCA is firstly transformed into a steering vector with a Vandermonde structure by using the Jacobi-Anger expansion. Then the null-spectrum function of the MIMO radar can be written as an expression in which the transmit and receive steering vectors are decoupled. Finally, a two-step polynomial rooting is used to estimate DOA and DOD of targets instead of two-dimensional multiple signal classification (MUSIC) search method for bistatic UCA MIMO radar. The angle estimation performance of the proposed method is similar to that of the MUSIC spectral search method, but the computation burden of the proposed polynomial rooting algorithm is much lower than that of the conventional MUSIC method. The simulation results of the proposed algorithm are presented and the performances are investigated and analyzed.
