Abstract

En 中文
This paper proposes an unambiguous method for joint angle and range estimation in colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar using the nested frequency diverse array (NFDA). Unlike a conventional phased array (PA), the transmission beampattern of FDA-MIMO radar depends not only on angle but also on range, which enables the precise identification of ambiguous regions in the two-dimensional frequency space. As a result, we can simultaneously estimate the angle and range of targets using FDA-MIMO radar, even when range ambiguity exists. By employing a nested array configuration, the degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the FDA are expanded. This expansion leads to improved accuracy in parameter estimation and enables a greater number of identifiable targets. In addition, the Cram & eacute;r-Rao lower bound (CRLB) and the algorithm complexity are obtained to facilitate performance analysis. The simulation outcomes are presented to showcase the superior performance of the suggested approach.
