Inhalt:
We present a transmit subaperturing (TS) approach for MIMO radars. A TS-MIMO radar offers a continuum of operating modes from the phased-array radar, which achieves the maximum directional gain but least interference rejection ability, to the omni-directional transmission based MIMO radar, which can handle the largest number of interference sources but offers no directional gain. Tuning of the TS-MIMO system can be made by changing the configuration of the transmit subapertures, which provides a direct trade-off between the directional gain and interference rejection power. The output SINR of the TS-MIMO radar is examined in an interference and training limited environment.
