Abstract

Recent years have shown how the performances of the standard radar systems can be significantly improved by using a multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) approach. MIMO technique is an already well studied method for communications applications thanks to the benefits that it offers in multipath fading environments. This paper is aimed to present the design of a new MIMO based, short range, surveillance radar for local area security purpose. One of the main addressed features to the system under consideration is the capability to provide full 360° azimuth coverage within its working area. The following analysis will be focused on the system structure description and on the first simulated results.
