Abstract
When exploiting the output from multiple transmitters to enhance some aspect of radar performance, MIMO radars need to coordinate transmissions so that each transmitter illuminates the target. This paper analyzes the performance of standard beam steering techniques for search radars, and proposes a new technique that optimizes coverage out to the radar's instrumented range.
