A NEAR-FIELD TARGET LOCALIZATION METHOD FOR MIMO RADAR

The existing target localization algorithms almost cannot be used to near-field target localization in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar, and this paper presents a novel method. This algorithm uses Chan algorithm to obtain initial estimate of the targets. Then we define a new residual matrix and use the weighted least square (WLS) method to get a more accurate positioning result. The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm is introduced to get more stable and accurate estimation. Furthermore, this algorithm achieves accurate positioning of the MIMO radar demonstrated by simulations.
