Abstract

By transmitting independent waveforms via different antennas, the echoes due to targets at different locations are linearly independent of each other, which allows the direct application of many adaptive techniques to achieve high resolution and excellent interference rejection capability. In the absence of array calibration errors, we discuss the application of several adaptive algorithms including Capon, APES and CAPES. When array errors are present, we apply the robust Capon beamformer (RCB) and doubly constrained robust Capon beamformer (DCRCB) approaches to the MIMO radar system to achieve accurate parameter estimation and superior interference and jamming suppression performance
