A time reversal (TR) based direction of arrival (DOA) estimation framework for multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) radars is presented. We develop minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) and multiple signal classification (MUSIC) based DOA estimators for the TR/MIMO setup. The TR/MIMO estimation algorithms outperform their conventional counterparts in: (i) analytical Cramér Rao Bounds (CRB) comparisons, and; (ii) numerical Monte Carlo simulations for a range of signal to noise ratios that we tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
