Abstract

In a road environment, the clutter-induced multipath components cause errors in the estimations of the direction of departure (DOD), direction of arrival (DOA), and Doppler frequencies of nearby target vehicles. In this paper, two ESPRIT-based bistatic MIMO radar algorithms are proposed to solve the pairing problem while reducing the computational complexity in a multiobject environment. The first method, named the object subspace algorithm, solves the pairing problem by extracting and processing each object return on an eigenvector basis, but it is shown to exhibit performance degradation. In the second method, named the Doppler preprocessing algorithm, the object return is first separated in the frequency domain and the ESPRIT algorithm is then applied or the object subspace algorithm is reused, if necessary. Finally, the multiobject, multipath environment is simulated to show the parameter estimation (DOD, DOA, Doppler frequency) performances of the two proposed algorithms.
