Target localization methods for frequency-only MIMO radar

In Multi Input-Multi Output (MIMO) radar, the target localization is possible by using only the frequencies of received signals instead of using whole data on the received signals for moving targets. As target is moving, received frequency will be shifted as doppler frequency. Received frequencies which are scattered from non-manouvering and constant speed target, can be written in two dimensional (2D) space with respect to the target coordinates. A cost function can be defined by the help of these frequencies, and than by using grid search, local minimum of this cost function can be found in (x, y) coordinates. In this work, a new target localization method is poroposed for frequency-only MIMO radar.
