Abstract :
In this paper, the antenna array design problem in minimum redundancy MIMO radars is addressed, which seeks to maximize the virtual array aperture for a given number of transmitting and receiving (Tx/Rx) elements. A hybrid optimization method combining cyclic difference sets (CDSs) with simulated annealing (SA) is proposed for the optimal design of Tx/Rx antenna arrays. Numerical results are also presented, showing large variety in array configurations and notable improvement in the spatial resolution.
