“…The authors have proposed recently a different solution [1], based on the coherent colocated MIMO radar framework [7], [8], [9]. With a coherent MIMO radar, each transmitting antenna transmits a different code so that the resulting signal transmitted by the whole array is not the same in two different directions: the space has been coded.…”

“…Thanks to this particular space coding feature, a dedicated processing at the reception enables to retrieve the angular information, even if no angular estimation capability is provided by the reception array. In the solution [1], we thus proposed to retrieve the elevation estimation by exploiting the particular geometry of some FM transmitters and their specific frequency coding: for instance, FM transmitters present at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris are located at different heights and transmit separate frequency bands. This new MIMO-FM solution was tested on a few real data recordings, showing that the elevation angle could be indeed estimated to some extent with this procedure.…”

In this paper, we consider the MIMO-FM concept firstly described in [1]. This particular setting enables to retrieve the elevation of targets in FM passive radar by exploiting the presence of multiple transmitting antennas located at different heights on the same pylon and transmitting signals at different frequencies, without the need for a vertical reception array. In [1], due to a bad sensitivity of the receiver used for the experiment, the MIMOFM concept could be only verified for very close targets. We review here the main features of this concept and in particular of the specific processing it requires. We then present new results obtained with an improved receiver that enables to detect targets at more than 100 km in bistatic range, thus proving the feasibility of the MIMO-FM concept for a various set of targets of configurations.
