Robust estimation of target reflection intensity in remote sensing application

A robust algorithm for estimating target reflection intensity based on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar presented. The algorithm exploits the characteristic of MIMO radar signal model to estimate the reflection intensity. Unlike most robust algorithms such as Robust Capon Beamformer (RCB), our method requires no predetermined mismatch range between the actual and normal steering vectors. In addition, the proposed method can be applied to both monostatic and bistatic MIMO radars.
