Abstract

In this letter, the coexistence of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar and a distributed MIMO communication systems is studied. Target returns contributed from both the radar transmitters and communication transmitters are employed to complete the radar task, leading to a hybrid active-passive MIMO radar network. For the communication task, not only are the communication signals received directly from communication transmitters, but also those bounced off from the target are exploited to extract useful information. The target localization Cramer–Rao bound and mutual information are derived for the radar and communication systems, respectively. It is shown that there is a performance gain due to the cooperation between the radar and communication systems.
