Abstract

This paper designs time reversal (TR) based angle-Doppler estimators for multiple-input-multiple-output (TRAD/MIMO) radars with the goal of using the spatial diversity of multipath propagation in urban scenarios to their advantage. Simulation results show that the angle-Doppler diversity is successfully utilized by the TRAD/MIMO radars to achieve significantly higher accuracy for target localization as compared to the conventional radar maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and adaptive beamforming techniques.
