Target Characterization Using MIMO Radar

The exploitation of coherency gain and diversity gain to improve the MIMO system performance is a burning research topic. This paper is to examine the performance analysis of MIMO radar by utilizing the above-said gains. The authors have analyzed the performance of the MIMO radar, in terms of mathematical modeling, considering the probability of detection and post-processing SNR, with respect to changes in the diversity order. Furthermore, this paper also deals with the practical implementation and analysis of the said system, demonstrating the range imaging and RCS pattern of a known standard target.
