Abstract

In this paper, a joint two dimensional (2D) direction of departure (DOD) and 2D direction of arrival (DOA) strictly noncircular (NC) unitary estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) method is proposed for an L-shaped bistatic multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. In the case that the incident signals are NC signals, we first utilize the received data vector and its conjugate counterparts to construct a new data vector, and then the unitary ESPRIT method is adopted to estimate the 2D-DODs and 2D-DOAs, which can automatically pair the four dimensional (4D) angle parameters. Simulation results are included to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
