Bistatic MIMO radar space-time adaptive processing

Bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems have the advantages of both bistatic radar and MIMO radar. In addition, the transmit angle can be obtained by processing the receive data. In this paper, bistatic MIMO and space-time adaptive processing (STAP) are applied to ground moving target indication (GMTI). It is shown that the clutter spectrum is a curve in 3-dimensions (transmit angle, receive angle and Doppler frequency) after compensation. The performances of single input multiple-output (SIMO) and MIMO cases are compared. The results show that the bistatic MIMO-STAP outperforms its SIMO counterparts in both signal interference and noise ratio (SINR) and SINR loss.
