Optimization of antenna excitation phases for transmit beam nulling with MIMO radar

In this article, the excitation phases of the antenna arrays of MIMO radar are optimized via minimizing the transmit beam power in certain pre-selected directions. A novel algorithm, adopted from the Fletcher's new variable metric method (VMM), is employed for antenna phase optimization. The si...

Description
Summary:In this article, the excitation phases of the antenna arrays of MIMO radar are optimized via minimizing the transmit beam power in certain pre-selected directions. A novel algorithm, adopted from the Fletcher's new variable metric method (VMM), is employed for antenna phase optimization. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
