Joint DOD and DOA Estimation for High Speed Target Using Bistatic MIMO Radar by Jinli Chen, Jiaqiang Li, Peng Li, Yanping Zhu, Weijun Long

“…In bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, range migration and invalidly synthesized virtual array resulting from the serious mismatch of matched filter make it difficult to estimate direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) of high speed target using the traditional superresolution algorithms. In this study, a method for joint DOD and DOA estimation of high speed target using bistatic MIMO radar is proposed. …”
