Abstract :
In this paper, a bi-Capon beamforming (BCB) algorithm for MIMO radar based on a simplified correlation matrix is investigated. By vectorising the received data matrix and its transpose and iteratively optimizing two lower dimensional weight vectors, the bi-Capon beamforming (BCB) method can significantly decrease the computational complexity and the training samples requirement. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
