Description
Summary:In this article, a novel coherent angle estimation method is proposed for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output radar. First, a decorrelation operation is taken by constructing a Hankel block matrix whose rank equals the number of coherent targets and is independent of the coherency between these targets. Therefore, the signal and noise subspaces of the Hankel block matrix can be estimated properly. Then, in conjunction with the ESPRIT algorithm, the shift invariance properties of the transmit and receive arrays are exploited to estimate the angles of coherent targets with automatic pairing. The numerical simulations demonstrate its validity.
