Abstract

A pre-processing technique is proposed to reduce the complexity of two-dimensional multiple signal classification (2D-MUSIC) for the joint range and angle estimation of frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar systems. By using the central symmetry of the angle steering vector from a uniform linear array (ULA) antenna and the linearity of the beat signal in the FMCW radar, this preprocessing technique transforms 2D-MUSIC from complex values into real values. To compare the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm with the conventional 2D-MUSIC, we measured the CPU processing time for various numbers of snapshots, and the evaluation results indicated that the 2D-MUSIC with the proposed pre-processing technique is approximately three times faster than the conventional 2D-MUSIC.
