Description
Summary:Co-located MIMO is used to enlarge the antenna aperture virtually and increase the angular resolution. This paper shows FMCW radar using MIMO VAA. Polyphase codes are designed for modulating the successive chirps of transmitting signals. The codes are optimized to have low cross-correlations regardless of the Doppler filter mismatch. Compared with orthogonal codes, the designed codes show robust performance for Doppler mismatch and lower angle estimation errors. The entire procedure is explained, and the simulation results are provided.
