MIMO RADAR WITH COLOCATED ANTENNAS
A MIMO (multi-input multi-output) radar system, unlike a standard
phased-array radar, can transmit via its antennas multiple probing
signals that may be correlated or uncorrelated with each other. We
provide herein an overview of our recent results on MIMO radar with
colocated antennas, showing that this waveform diversity enables the
MIMO radar superiority in several fundamental aspects, including
significantly improved parameter identifiability and much enhanced
flexibility for transmit beampattern design. Moreover, we discuss the
challenges and advances of using MIMO radar and space-time adaptive
processing for enhanced ground moving target indication. Finally, we
comment in passing on diverse expert opinions on MIMO radar.
