On the MUSIC-derived Approaches of Angle Estimation for Bistatic MIMO Radar

Abstract

We investigate the topic for the direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in bistatic multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems with the exploitation of array invariance. Several MUSIC-derived algorithms for angle estimation in MIMO radar have been presented and compared for their complexity costs against that of ESPRIT. The proposed scheme of multi-invariance multiple signal classification (MI-MUSIC) has the best performance and also can be considered as a generalization of MUSIC. Simulations verify the collaborative usefulness of our algorithm.
