A subspace-based technique for joint DOA-DOD estimation in bistatic MIMO radar

In this paper, we propose a new subspace-based approach for joint DOA-DOD estimation in the bistatic MIMO radar. This method use a polynomial root findings for determining jointly the DOA-DOD directions. This algorithm allows an efficient estimation of the target DOA and DOD with automatic pairing. The simulation results of the proposed algorithms are presented and the performances are investigated and discussed.
