Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of correction of amplitude and phase errors of radar transceiver arrays, in particular to a method for correcting amplitude and phase errors of bistatic MIMO radar transceiver arrays, which can more accurately realize the estimation of angle of arrival and angle of departure. Background technique [0002] Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar is a new radar system proposed in recent years. It transmits mutually orthogonal signals through the transmitting array elements, and the receiver uses the orthogonality of the transmitting signals to transmit signals from different transmitting arrays. The signals of the elements are separated, and then these signals are used for parameter estimation. Compared with traditional radar, MIMO radar can increase the maximum number of detectable targets, improve target resolution performance, and has the advantages of larger virtual aperture, narrower beam and lower si...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Many people have devoted themselves to the DOA estimation research of bistatic MIMO radar, but they have not considered the amplitude and phase errors of the transceiver array, and in practical applications, the amplitude and phase errors of the array are unavoidable

In the prior art, some scholars have obtained the closed-form solution of the transceiver array by combining the ESPRIT method and the least square method, which avoids the peak search, but the accuracy and performance of the angle estimation and amplitude-phase error estimation still need to be improved

It was also proposed to use the MUSIC method to perform two one-dimensional searches to obtain better estimation performance, but the calculation of two one-dimensional peak searches is too large and the complexity is high
