An Efficient Multi-target Localization Method for Distributed MIMO Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies a multi-target localization method for distributed Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) radar. We assume that the sets of time delays have already been estimated by a pre-processing algorithm. Based on the assumption, we propose a search pairing method based on ellipse model to locate the multi-target. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively accomplishes multi-target localization with the distributed MIMO radar across scattering cross-section (RCS). Comparisons are given to present that the proposed method outperforms the existing method both at the search time and the localization accuracy.

Efficiency of Target Location Scenarios in the Multi-Transmitter Multi-Receiver Passive Radar
Multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar, which locates target in the surveillance area by the reflected signals of the available opportunistic transmitter from the target, is of interest in many applications. In this paper, we investigate different signal processing scenarios in multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar. These scenarios include decentralized processing of reference ...
متن کاملA Soft-Input Soft-Output Target Detection Algorithm for Passive Radar
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel scheme for multi-static passive radar processing, based on soft-input soft-output processing and Bayesian sparse estimation. In this scheme, each receiver estimates the probability of target presence based on its received signal and the prior information received from a central processor. The resulting posterior target probabilities are transmitted to the c...
متن کاملRobust MIMO radar target localization via nonconvex optimization
This paper addresses the problem of robust target localization in distributed multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) radar using possibly outlier range measurements. To achieve robustness against outliers, we construct an objective function for MIMO target localization via the maximum correntropy criterion. To deal with such a nonconvex and nonlinear function, we apply a half-quadratic optimizati...
