Reduced-Dimensional ESPRIT for Direction Finding in Monostatic MIMO Radar with Double Parallel Uniform Linear Arrays
In this paper, the issue of two-dimensional direction of arrival estimation in monostatic multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) radar with double parallel uniform linear arrays is studied, and an algorithm based on estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) is proposed. Through a series of reduced-dimensional transformations, the proposed algorithm has very low complexity due to the low dimension. Meanwhile, the estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is slightly improved compared to the conventional ESPRIT, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, the algorithm can estimate azimuth and elevation angles without additional pair matching in monostatic MIMO radar. Error analysis of the angle estimation and CramrRao bound are derived. Simulation results verify the usefulness of our algorithm.
