Multi-target localisation in bistatic MIMO radar

An algorithm for multi-target localisation in bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is presented. The directions of arrival (DOAs) of targets can be estimated via ESPRIT by means of the rotational factor produced from two receive subarrays with the corresponding directions of departure (DODs) being paired automatically via the signal subspace. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
