A Target Localization Framework in MIMO Radar Using Bandwidth Synthesis Technique and Direction of Arrival (DOA) Information

This paper presents a target localization framework for MIMO radar configurations. The framework uses the Elliptic Curve Intersection (ECI) method for target localization and incorporates a bandwidth synthesis technique to improve the range resolution. Extensive simulations clearly demonstrated the efficacy of the introduced framework. Because the ECI method has the problem of generating ghost targets, as a remedy to this limitation, a solution which utilizes the DOA information has been introduced as well.
