Chintagunta, SrinivasaraoPonnusamy, Palanisamy2026-11-022026-11-022019-06-2019378726http://dx.doi.org/10.2528/PIERM19041705http://nitt.ndl.gov.in/handle/123456789/397This paper proposes an approach for estimating the spatial and polarization angles of mixed-targets in bistatic MIMO radar. Mixed-targets mean the combination of uncorrelated, partially correlated, and groups of coherent targets. The approach resolves rank deficiency of received signal covariance matrix and then exploits the ESPRIT-based method for estimating the angles of direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA). This paper also presents an analytical review and necessary conditions for resolving the rank deficiency under various scenarios of the MIMO radar. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.enArticle
