Descripción
Resumen:This paper proposes an unambiguous method for joint angle and range estimation in colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar using the nested frequency diverse array (NFDA). Unlike a conventional phased array (PA), the transmission beampattern of FDA-MIMO radar depends not only on angle but also on range, which enables the precise identification of ambiguous regions in the two-dimensional frequency space. As a result, we can simultaneously estimate the angle and range of targets using FDA-MIMO radar, even when range ambiguity exists. By employing a nested array configuration, the degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the FDA are expanded. This expansion leads to improved accuracy in parameter estimation and enables a greater number of identifiable targets. In addition, the Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) and the algorithm complexity are obtained to facilitate performance analysis. The simulation outcomes are presented to showcase the superior performance of the suggested approach.
