Angle Estimation and Self-Calibration Using ISM and ESPRIT for Bistatic MIMO Radar with Gain and Phase Uncertainties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Most high-resolution angle estimation algorithms suffer from sensitivity to gain and phase uncertainties. In this letter, a novel ESPRIT-based algorithm, which uses the instrumental sensors method (ISM), is proposed for bistatic MIMO radar with gain and phase uncertainties. With the help of a few well-calibrated transmitting and receiving instrumental sensors, the proposed algorithm is able to achieve favorable and unambiguous angle estimation and accurate self-calibration without the knowledge of gain and phase uncertainties. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
