Abstract

See full text

A method for processing coherent MIMO radar processing DDMA waveforms includes: generating waveforms on transmitters, the waveforms, modulo the pulse repetition frequency, being identical from one transmitter to the next, to within a phase ramp specific to each transmit path; generating, for at least one receiver, a Range-Doppler representation of echoes of transmitted waveforms, where, for each receiver, echoes of a transmitter occupy at least one frequency cell in the Doppler spectrum, each signal band specific to a transmitter, placement of the signal bands in the Doppler spectrum being determined by phase ramp applied to each transmitter, the waveforms generated to leave a portion of Doppler spectrum between two signal bands unoccupied; identifying the transmitter corresponding to each signal band, due to Range-Doppler representation of echoes of transmitted waveforms. The method is suitable for the millimetre band, automotive or aircraft radar, for detection of target relative to the carrier.
