Passive UWB multiplexing device for a single-port MIMO RADAR

MIMO radar imaging is receiving a substantial attention, thanks to its high resolution capacity. Whereas, the complexity and the cost of the active devices able to simultaneously transmit and receive signals of each antenna is a disincentive for the expansion of this technology, particularly using UWB signals. In this paper, a passive device is presented to achieve MIMO radar imaging using a single-port reflection measurement.
