NEW AOC VIRTUAL SERIES WEBINAR: MIMO Radars – Whatever You Can Do, We Can Do, June 25
June 25, 2015 | 1400-1500 EDT (1800-1900 GMT)
It has been shown that ground Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) radars can provide orders of magnitude better resolution and accuracy (10x, 100x or 1000x better) than conventional radars. This presentation shows how to use conventional radars to do this as well. The MIMO array uses a thin linear array on transmit and collocated full linear array on receive. It is called a thin/full array. We show how the same MIMO thin/full array can be used as a conventional array to provide same resolution and accuracy as the MIMO array, have no grating lobes, and use exactly the same time and energy for search. So the MIMO and conventional are exactly equivalent performance wise. However the signal processing load for the MIMO radar system can typically be much larger than for its conventional equivalents.
This presentation is given in tutorial form. We give physical insight into MIMO and its conventional equivalents. We explain both. No math used.
