Description
Summary:Abstract In this letter, a dilating and embedding scheme for constructing sparse multiple‐input and multiple‐output radar arrays is addressed, which seeks to increase the uniform degrees of freedom (uDOFs) and reduce the mutual coupling effects for a given number of transmitters and receivers (Tx/Rx). According to this scheme, a dilated maximum inter‐element spacing constraint (MISC) array with an embedded thinned coprime array in the collocated MIMO radar for DOA estimation is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed array can provide higher uDOFs and is robust in a scenario with heavy levels of mutual coupling. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate its aforementioned advantages in line with the design scheme.
