description Interferometric radar is a hot research topic in manmade target displacement measuring applications, as it features high precision, a large operation range, and a remote multiple point measuring ability. Most one-dimensional interferometric radars use single-input single-output (SISO) radar architecture to achieve a high repetition measuring rate of more than 200 Hz; however, it cannot resolve multiple targets with the same radial range but different azimuth angles. This paper presents a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar that adopts a limited number of antennas (usually tens) to simultaneously improve azimuth resolution and achieve a high repetition measuring rate. A MUSICAPES algorithm is proposed, which is cascades the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and the amplitude and phase estimation (APES) filter. The MUSIC algorithm is used to further improve the angular resolution of the small array. The APES is used to precisely recover the phases of the multiple close targets by suppressing their mutual interferences. Simulations and experiments with a millimeter-wave radar validate the performance of the proposed method.
