Joint Estimation of Doppler Frequency and Angle in Bistatic MIMO Radar System

Abstract- Addressed with bistatic multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) radar, a joint estimator of both Doppler frequency and angle is proposed. The angle of the target are estimated using beamforming technique after the Doppler frequency is estimated via MUSIC or ESPRIT approach, which are automatically paired with-out extra computation burden. The method has better angle resolu-tion than conventional subspace decomposition algorithms. The si-mulation results demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness.
