Multistatic Forward Scatter Radar for accurate motion parameters estimation of low-observable targets

This paper introduces the MIMO Forward Scatter Radar (FSR) concept to provide an accurate estimation of the motion parameters of a low observable target. In particular, two techniques are introduced to obtain the estimate of the target velocity component normal to the TX-RX baseline, that exploit the multiple transmitters and receivers. Experimental results allow the comparison of the efficiency of the two approaches and demonstrate the potential of MIMO FS configuration.
