Abstract
SummaryMultiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) radar, employing multiple transmitters and receivers, enhances radar capabilities. It detects and tracks objects like aircraft and ships using radio waves. Compared with traditional phased‐array radar, MIMO systems offer greater flexibility, improving angular resolution and target detection. Researchers focus on direction of arrival (DoA) evaluation for closely spaced targets. Effective beamforming and accurate DoA estimation are crucial for MIMO radar performance. This study explores two methods: Capon beamforming with Dolph–Chebyshev windowing and the MUSIC algorithm with Eigenvalue thresholding. Tested under low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and fewer snapshots, these techniques notably reduce side lobes and enhance angular resolution, validated by experiments. Additionally, the suppression of side lobes significantly improves the clarity and accuracy of target detection, minimizing potential interference and false targets. This enhancement in side lobe suppression facilitates a more precise spatial differentiation between multiple targets, thus contributing to the overall effectiveness and reliability of MIMO radar systems.
摘要多输入多输出(MIMO)雷达采用多个发射器和接收器,增强了雷达功能。它利用无线电波探测和跟踪飞机和船只等物体。与传统的相控阵雷达相比,MIMO 系统具有更大的灵活性,可提高角度分辨率和目标探测能力。研究人员的重点是对间距较近的目标进行到达方向(DoA)评估。有效的波束成形和准确的到达方向估计对 MIMO 雷达的性能至关重要。本研究探讨了两种方法:带有 Dolph-Chebyshev 窗口的 Capon 波束成形和带有特征值阈值的 MUSIC 算法。在信噪比(SNR)较低和快照较少的情况下进行测试,这些技术显著减少了侧叶,提高了角度分辨率,并得到了实验的验证。此外,抑制边叶还能显著提高目标检测的清晰度和准确性,最大限度地减少潜在干扰和错误目标。侧叶抑制的增强有助于更精确地区分多个目标,从而提高多输入多输出雷达系统的整体有效性和可靠性。
