Phased MIMO radar with coherent receive arrays

Abstract

Phased Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (PMIMO) radar which uses overlapped noncoherent transmit subarrays and noncoherent receive arrays provide better performance in transmit-receive gain and SINR than Phased Array and MIMO radar. This paper shows PMIMO approach which uses a coherent receive array provides the same performance as other radars but is more efficient in its use of matched filters and other processing units. The effectiveness of the approach is analyzed by the results of numerical evaluation.
