Abstract

This paper is concerned with the investigation of the bistatic MIMO radar for estimating various multitarget parameters of interest in the presence of clutter and noise. The parameters of interest include Direction of Departure (DOD), Direction of Arrival (DOA), range and velocity and a novel algorithm is proposed for estimating these target parameters based on the concepts of the "array manifold" and "manifold extenders". The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation studies.
