A joint direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm based on tensor subspace approach for partially calibrated bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is proposed. By exploiting the multidimensional structure of the received data, a third-order measurement tensor is constructed. Consequently, the tensor-based signal subspace is achieved using the higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD). To achieve accurate DOA estimation with partially calibrated array, a closed-form solution is provided to estimate the gain-phase uncertainties of the transmit and receive arrays by modeling the imperfections of the arrays. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed calibration algorithm.

In the paper, the estimation of joint direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) for strictly noncircular targets in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is considered, and a tensor-based angle estimation method is proposed. In the proposed method, making use of the banded symmetric Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, the influence of the unknown mutual coupling is removed in the tensor domain. Then, a special enhancement tensor is formulated to capture both the noncircularity and inherent multidimensional structure of strictly noncircular signals. After that, the higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) technology is applied for estimating the tensor-based signal subspace. Finally, the direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is obtained by utilizing the rotational invariance technique. Due to the use of both noncircularity and multidimensional structure of the detected signal, the algorithm in this paper has better angle estimation performance than other subspace-based algorithms. The experiment results verify that the method proposed has better angle estimation performance.

In this paper, joint direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is studied. An improved propagator calculation method is proposed to overcome the performance degradation problem when signal to noise ratio (SNR) is low. Thereafter, according to the Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, the rotational invariance can be extracted for the angle estimation regardless of the mutual coupling from the augmented propagator matrix. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm and conventional PM-like method, and angles are automatically paired. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

In this paper, a joint diagonalization based two dimensional (2D) direction of departure (DOD) and 2D direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method for a mixture of circular and strictly noncircular (NC) sources is proposed based on an L-shaped bistatic multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. By making full use of the L-shaped MIMO array structure to obtain an extended virtual array at the receive array, we first combine the received data vector and its conjugated counterpart to construct a new data vector, and then an estimating signal parameter via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like method is adopted to estimate the DODs and DOAs by joint diagonalization of the NC-based direction matrices, which can automatically pair the four dimensional (4D) angle parameters and solve the angle ambiguity problem with common one-dimensional (1D) DODs and DOAs. In addition, the asymptotic performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed and the closed-form stochastic Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) expression is derived. As demonstrated by simulation results, the proposed algorithm has outperformed the existing one, with a result close to the theoretical benchmark.

Due to the multipath effect, the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation performance for low-angle targets decreases greatly. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a spatial differencing reconstruction based DOA estimation algorithm by using the received signal model of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. Combining with the spatial diversity of MIMO radar, the proposed method can first use the multipath echo power to select the best signal. Then, a spatial differencing based iterative scheme is developed to reduce the effect of additive noise, resulting in a better estimation performance for low-angle targets. Simulation results show that the proposed method has better advantages in suppressing noise and improving estimation accuracy.

This paper investigates the problem of angle estimation for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with non-uniform linear arrays, and proposes an improved spectrum searching generalized estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm for joint direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm in bistatic MIMO radar. The proposed algorithm obtains initial estimation of angles obtained from the signal subspace, and uses the 1D local searchings to achieve the joint estimation of DOD and DOA. Compared to the spectrum searching generalized-ESPRIT algorithm which requires the global searchings and additional pairing, the proposed algorithm just needs the local searchings and obtains automatically paired 2D angle estimation. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is almost the same as that of the generalized-ESPRIT algorithm, and better than ESPRIT-like algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is suitable for irregular array geometry, has much lower complexity than the spectrum searching generalized-ESPRIT algorithm, and imposes less constraint on the transmit/receive sensor spacing, which need not be limited to a half-wavelength strictly. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Ideal transmitting and receiving (Tx/Rx) array response is always desirable in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. In practice, nevertheless, Tx/Rx arrays may be susceptible to unknown gain-phase errors (GPE) and yield seriously decreased positioning accuracy. This paper focuses on the direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) problem in bistatic MIMO radar with unknown gain-phase errors (GPE). A novel parallel factor (PARAFAC) estimator is proposed. The factor matrices containing DOD and DOA are firstly obtained via PARAFAC decomposition. One DOD-DOA pair estimation is then accomplished from the spectrum searching. Thereafter, the remainder DOD and DOA are achieved by the least squares technique with the previous estimated angle pair. The proposed estimator is analyzed in detail. It only requires one instrumental Tx/Rx sensor, and it outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms. Numerical simulations verify the theoretical advantages.

In this paper, we propose a novel direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation structure based on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with colocated antennas, referred to as compressive measurement-based MIMO (CM-MIMO) radar, where the compressive sensing (CS) is employed to reduce the number of channels. Therefore, the system complexity and the computational burden are effectively reduced. It is noted that CS is used after the matched filters and that a measurement matrix with less rows than columns is multiplied with the received signals. As a result, the configurations of the transmit and receive antenna arrays are not affected by the CS and can be determined according to the practical requirements. To study the estimation performance, the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) with respect to the DOAs of the proposed CM-MIMO radar is analyzed in this paper. The derived CRB expression is also suitable for the conventional MIMO radar by setting the measurement matrix as an identity matrix. Moreover, the CRB expression can work in the under-determined case, since the sum-difference coarray structure is considered. However, the random measurement matrix leads to high information loss, thus compromising the estimation performance. To overcome this problem, we consider that the a prior probability distribution of the DOAs associated with the targets can be obtained in many scenarios and an optimization approach for the measurement matrix is proposed in this paper, where the maximum mutual information criterion is adopted. The superiority of the proposed structure is validated by numerical simulations.

Expected Benefits

While the combination of multi-antenna and relaying techniques has been extensively studied for Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, it is expected to still play an important role in 5th Generation (5G) networks. However, the expected benefits of these technologies cannot be achieved without a proper system design. In this paper, we consider the problem of jointly optimizing terminal precoders/decoders and relay forwarding matrices on the basis of the sum mean square error (MSE) criterion in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay systems, where two multi-antenna nodes mutually exchange information via multi-antenna amplify-and-forward relays. This problem is nonconvex and a local optimal solution is typically found by using iterative algorithms based on alternating optimization. We show how the constrained minimization of the sum-MSE can be relaxed to obtain two separated subproblems which, under mild conditions, admit a closed-form solution. Compared to iterative approaches, the proposed design is more suited to be integrated in 5G networks, since it is computationally more convenient and its performance exhibits a better scaling in the number of relays.

Direction Of Departure

The direction-of-departure (DOD) and the direction-of-arrival (DOA) are important localization parameters in bistatic MIMO radar. In this paper, we are interested in DOD/DOA estimation of both single-pulse and multiple-pulse multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars. An iterative super-resolution target localization method is firstly proposed for single-pulse bistatic MIMO radar. During the iterative process, the estimated DOD and DOA can be moved from initial angles to their true values with high probability, and thus can achieve super-resolution estimation. It works well even if the number of targets is unknown. We then extend the proposed method to multiple-pulse configuration to estimate target numbers and localize targets. Compared with existing methods, both of our proposed algorithms have a higher localization accuracy and a more stable performance. Moreover, the proposed algorithms work well even with low sampling numbers and unknown target numbers. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
