3D-Subspace-Based Auto-Paired Azimuth Angle, Elevation Angle, and Range Estimation for 24G FMCW Radar with an L-Shaped Array

In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D)-subspace-based azimuth angle, elevation angle, and range estimation method with auto-pairing is proposed for frequency-modulated continuous waveform (FMCW) radar with an L-shaped array. The proposed method is designed to exploit the 3D shift-invariant structur...

Description
Summary:In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D)-subspace-based azimuth angle, elevation angle, and range estimation method with auto-pairing is proposed for frequency-modulated continuous waveform (FMCW) radar with an L-shaped array. The proposed method is designed to exploit the 3D shift-invariant structure of the stacked Hankel snapshot matrix for auto-paired azimuth angle, elevation angle, and range estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a variety of experiments conducted in a chamber. For the realization of the proposed method, K-band FMCW radar is implemented with an L-shaped antenna.
