A novel unitary estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm, for the joint direction of arrival (DOA) and range estimation in a monostatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with a frequency diverse array (FDA), is proposed. Firstly, by utilizing the property of Centro-Hermitian of the received data, the extended real-valued data is constructed to improve estimation accuracy and reduce computational complexity via unitary transformation. Then, to avoid the coupling between the angle and range in the transmitting array steering vector, the DOA is estimated by using the rotation invariance of the receiving subarrays. Thereafter, an automatic pairing method is applied to estimate the range of the target. Since phase ambiguity is caused by the phase periodicity of the transmitting array steering vector, a removal method of phase ambiguity is proposed. Finally, the expression of Cramér–Rao Bound (CRB) is derived and the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is compared with the ESPRIT algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation results.

The beamspace unitary ESPRIT (B-UESPRIT) algorithm for estimating the joint direction of arrival (DOA) and the direction of departure (DOD) in bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is proposed. The conjugate centrosymmetrized DFT matrix is utilized to retain the rotational invariance structure in the beamspace transformation for both the receiving array and the transmitting array. Then the real-valued unitary ESPRIT algorithm is used to estimate DODs and DOAs which have been paired automatically. The proposed algorithm does not require peak searching, presents low complexity, and provides a significant better performance compared to some existing methods, such as the element-space ESPRIT (E-ESPRIT) algorithm and the beamspace ESPRIT (B-ESPRIT) algorithm for bistatic MIMO radar. Simulation results are conducted to show these conclusions.

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.

Distributed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar has attracted much attention for its improved detection and estimation performance as well as enhanced electronic counter-counter measures (ECCM) ability. To protect the target from being detected and tracked by such radar, we consider a barrage jamming strategy towards a distributed MIMO. We first derive the Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) of target parameters estimation using a distributed MIMO under barrage jamming environments. We then set maximizing the CRB as the criterion for jamming resource allocation, aiming at degrading the accuracy of target parameters estimation. Due to the non-convexity of the CRB maximizing problem, particle swarm optimization is used to solve the problem. Simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed strategy over traditional jamming methods.

In this paper, we propose a novel direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation structure based on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with colocated antennas, referred to as compressive measurement-based MIMO (CM-MIMO) radar, where the compressive sensing (CS) is employed to reduce the number of channels. Therefore, the system complexity and the computational burden are effectively reduced. It is noted that CS is used after the matched filters and that a measurement matrix with less rows than columns is multiplied with the received signals. As a result, the configurations of the transmit and receive antenna arrays are not affected by the CS and can be determined according to the practical requirements. To study the estimation performance, the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) with respect to the DOAs of the proposed CM-MIMO radar is analyzed in this paper. The derived CRB expression is also suitable for the conventional MIMO radar by setting the measurement matrix as an identity matrix. Moreover, the CRB expression can work in the under-determined case, since the sum-difference coarray structure is considered. However, the random measurement matrix leads to high information loss, thus compromising the estimation performance. To overcome this problem, we consider that the a prior probability distribution of the DOAs associated with the targets can be obtained in many scenarios and an optimization approach for the measurement matrix is proposed in this paper, where the maximum mutual information criterion is adopted. The superiority of the proposed structure is validated by numerical simulations.

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, a joint diagonalization based two dimensional (2D) direction of departure (DOD) and 2D direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method for a mixture of circular and strictly noncircular (NC) sources is proposed based on an L-shaped bistatic multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. By making full use of the L-shaped MIMO array structure to obtain an extended virtual array at the receive array, we first combine the received data vector and its conjugated counterpart to construct a new data vector, and then an estimating signal parameter via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like method is adopted to estimate the DODs and DOAs by joint diagonalization of the NC-based direction matrices, which can automatically pair the four dimensional (4D) angle parameters and solve the angle ambiguity problem with common one-dimensional (1D) DODs and DOAs. In addition, the asymptotic performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed and the closed-form stochastic Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) expression is derived. As demonstrated by simulation results, the proposed algorithm has outperformed the existing one, with a result close to the theoretical benchmark.

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.
