description The target detection of the passive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar that is comprised of multiple illuminators of opportunity and multiple receivers is investigated in this paper. In the passive MIMO radar, the transmitted signals of illuminators of opportunity are totally unknown, and the received signals are contaminated by the colored Gaussian noise with an unknown covariance matrix. The generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is explored for the passive MIMO radar when the channel coefficients are also unknown, and the closed-form GLRT is derived. Compared with the GLRT with unknown transmitted signals and channel coefficients but a known covariance matrix, the proposed method is applicable for a more practical case whenthe covariance matrix of colored noise is unknown, although it has higher computational complexity. Moreover, the proposed GLRT can achieve similar performance as the GLRT with the known covariance matrix when the number of training samples is large enough. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed GLRT is verified by several numerical examples.
