Project Title

Target localization and navigation using MIMO radar

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

The individual signals falling on antenna elements of phased array antenna are used to extract various parameters of the target in case of MIMO radars such as detailed RCS, direction of arrival estimation and doppler velocity. The coherent processing of signal in MIMO radar gives overwhelming benefit, over conventional phase array techniques where a single narrow beam scans in azimuth / elevation plane. In this project, the students will do thorough review and comparison of localization of targets using conventional MIMO technique, study the difference between coherent and non-coherent processing. Finally, they would implement a simple MIMO radar and predict angle of arrival (AOA) of a target and compare with the theoretical results.
