A robust beamforming for MIMO radar against virtual array steering
vector mismatch
Abstract
This letter considers the problem of beamforming in multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) radar. The mismatch phenomenon of MIMO radar
virtual array steering vector is addressed and a new robust beamforming
method for MIMO radar is proposed. The object function of this robust
MIMO radar beamformer is constructed from an infinite norm of the output
data, which is solved by linear programming. The performance of the
proposed beamformer is verified by simulation results. Numerical results
illustrate that proposed beamformer exhibits good performance
improvement in virtual array steering vector mismatch compared to
conventional methods.
