Novel method based on fractional lower-order correntropy-analogous statistics for parameter jointly estimation in bistatic MIMO radar

According to the performance degradation problem of parameter estimation algorithm in the Alpha stable dis-tribution noise, inspired by the concept of correntropy, a new class of statistics, namely, the fractional lower-order cor-rentropy-analogous statistics (FCAS) was proposed. By employing the fractional lower-order correntropy-analogous sta-tistics based cost function in parallel factor (PARAFAC), the FCAS-PARAFAC algorithm was deduced which can be utilized for the parallel factor under impulsive noise environments. The FCAS-PARAFAC algorithm was applied to pa-rameter estimation in bistatic MIMO radar under impulsive noise environment. The proposed method can suppress the impulse noise interference and has better estimation performance. Furthermore, the estimated parameters are automati-cally paired without the additional pairing method. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the pro-posed method.

The proposed method, with the influence of spatial colored noise eliminated, is effective for three- or more-transmitter configured system. The DOAs and DODs of targets can be solved in closed form and paired automatically. Moreover, the maximum number of targets that can be identified by using this method is also analyzed. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the method.     

Parameter estimation based on fractional power spectrum under alpha-stable distribution noise environment in wideband bistatic MIMO radar system

This paper takes the alpha-stable distribution as the noise model and works on the parameter estimation problem of wideband bistatic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar system in the impulsive noise environment. In many applications, it is not appropriate to approximate the wideband signal by the narrowband model. Furthermore, the echo signal may be corrupted by the non-Gaussian noise. The conventional algorithms degenerate severely in the impulsive noise environment. Thus, this paper proposes a new wideband signal model and a novel method in wideband bistatic MIMO radar system. It combines the fractional lower order statistics and fractional power spectrum, for suppressing the impulse noise and estimating parameters of the target. Firstly, a new signal array model is proposed under the alpha-stable distribution noise model. Secondly, Doppler stretch and time delay are jointly estimated by peak searching of the FLOS-FPSD. Furthermore, two modified algorithms are proposed for the estimation of the direction-of-departure and direction-of-arrival, including the fractional power spectrum density based on MUSIC algorithm (FLOS-FPSD-MUSIC) and the fractional lower-order ambiguity function based on ESPRIT algorithm (FLOS-FPSD-ESPRIT). Simulation results are presented to verity the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Direction finding and mutual coupling estimation for bistatic MIMO radar

An algorithm for joint direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in the presence of unknown mutual coupling for bistatic MIMO radar is presented. Based on the special structure of the coupling matrix of uniform linear array (ULA), the angles can be estimated directly by two one-dimensional searches without the knowledge of the mutual coupling matrices. Then the mutual coupling coefficients of the transmitter and the receiver can be solved in closed-form by utilizing the obtained DODs and DOAs, respectively. Numerical examples are given for demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Novel angle estimation for bistatic MIMO radar using an improved MUSIC

In this article, we study the problem of angle estimation for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar and propose an improved multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for joint direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. The proposed algorithm obtains initial estimations of angles obtained from the signal subspace and uses the local one-dimensional peak searches to achieve the joint estimations of DOD and DOA. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm, and is almost the same as that of two-dimensional MUSIC. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can be suitable for irregular array geometry, obtain automatically paired DOD and DOA estimations, and avoid two-dimensional peak searching. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and improvement of the algorithm.     

Joint parameter estimation of DOD/DOA/polarization for bistatic MIMO radar

In the paper,polarization-sensitive array is exploited at the receiver of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system,a novel method is proposed for joint estimation of direction of departure (DOD),direction of arrival (DOA) and polarization parameters for bistatic MIMO radars. A signal model of polarimetric MIMO radar is developed,and the multi-parameter estimation algorithm for target localization is described by exploiting polarization array processing and the invariance property in both transmitter array and receiver array. By making use of polarization diversity techniques,the proposed method has advantages over traditional localization algorithms for bistatic MIMO radar. Simulations show that the performance of DOD and DOA estimation is greatly enhanced when different states of polarization of echoes is fully utilized. Especially,when two targets are closely spaced and cannot be well separated in spatial domain,the estimation resolution of traditional algorithms will be greatly degraded. While the proposed algorithm can work well and achieve high-resolution identification and accurate localization of multiple targets.     

Coherent angle estimation based on Hankel matrix construction in bistatic MIMO radar

In this article, a novel coherent angle estimation method is proposed for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output radar. First, a decorrelation operation is taken by constructing a Hankel block matrix whose rank equals the number of coherent targets and is independent of the coherency between these targets. Therefore, the signal and noise subspaces of the Hankel block matrix can be estimated properly. Then, in conjunction with the ESPRIT algorithm, the shift invariance properties of the transmit and receive arrays are exploited to estimate the angles of coherent targets with automatic pairing. The numerical simulations demonstrate its validity.
