Background
A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar is a radar which is a new system and is generated by introducing Multiple input and Multiple output technologies in a wireless communication system into the field of radars and combining the Multiple input and Multiple output technologies with a digital array technology. Due to the adoption of the waveform diversity technology, the MIMO radar has incomparable advantages in the aspects of resolution, target detection performance, target parameter estimation performance and the like compared with the traditional phased array radar. The antenna array generally comprises a plurality of transmitting antennas and a plurality of receiving antennas (the antennas can also be used for transmitting and receiving), the antennas are arranged according to a certain rule to form an antenna array, independent units of the antenna array are called array elements or antenna units, each transmitting antenna transmits different signal waveforms, and each transmitting signal is received by the plurality of receiving antennas after being reflected by a target.
The radar imaging of the MIMO system irradiates an imaging target by transmitting an ultra-wideband signal and receives a scattered echo signal irradiating the imaging target so as to reconstruct a radar image of the target, so that the radar imaging of the MIMO system is widely applied to the fields of medical imaging, penetration imaging, nondestructive testing and the like. The mechanism has the advantages of high data acquisition rate (good real-time performance), potential for imaging a fast moving target, large instantaneous aperture, accurate array element position, good target response coherence among signals, capability of realizing the same performance by using a smaller number of antenna array elements and contribution to system integration.
