This book covers the latest advances in optimal and adaptive MIMO radar for enhanced detection and target ID in challenging environments and demonstrates its utility in real-world applications. It discusses signal processing prerequisites, such as radar signals, orthogonal waveforms, matched filtering, multi-channel beam forming, and Doppler processing. It also outlines MIMO implantation challenges like computational complexity, adaptive clutter mitigation, calibration and equalization, and hardware constraints. The book contains exclusive flight testing data from DARPA, and digs into applications for GMTI radar, OTH radar, maritime radar, and automotive radar.
