摘要：

In the work presented here we explore the interest of target localization using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems with widely separated antennas. The time delays between every transmit/receive antenna are an integral part of target localization using MIMO radar systems. We assume that these time delays have already been estimated by a preprocessing algorithm. Accordingly, we propose a target localization algorithm using the least squares estimation which has a closed form without requiring any initial condition. Simulation results evaluate the performance of the proposed method in comparison with the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) and the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) method. The effect of the arrangement and number of transmitters and receivers on the algorithm performance is also investigated.
