Abstract
Techniques are disclosed implementing two alternative approaches for adaptive beamforming for MIMO radar. The first of these includes a “reduced complexity” iterative adaptive approach (RC-IAA) algorithm, which uses two steps including a delay-and-sum beamforming step (DAS-BF) and an IAA step that is applied to the output generated by the DAS-BF step. A second technique is described that includes a “beam space” iterative adaptive approach (BS-IAA) algorithm, which uses three steps including a delay-and-sum beamforming step (DAS-BF), a region of interest (ROI) detection step that is applied to the output generated by the DAS-BF, and an IAA step that is applied to detected ROIs.
