Statistical MIMO Radar
Abstract Inspired by recent advances in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)communications, we introduce the statistical MIMO radar concept. Unlikebeamforming, array radar, or STAP, which presuppose a high correlationbetween signals either transmitted or received by an array, the proposedMIMO radar exploits the independence between signals at the array elements.Whereas correlation-based array techniques are capable of providing degreesof freedom for spatial ltering, they have no bearing on the effects of targetscattering. Radar targets generally consist of many small elemental scatterersthat are fused by the radar waveform and the processing at the receiver toresult in echoes with uctuating amplitude and phase. In conventional radar,

Motivation
Radar targets provide a richscattering environment.
Conventional radars experiencetarget fluctuations of 5-25 dB.
Slow RCS fluctuations (SwerlingI model) cause long fades intarget RCS, degrading radarperformance.
In statistical MIMO the angularspread of the target backscatter
is exploited in a variety of waysto extend the radarsperformance envelope.
Backscatter as a function of azimuth angle,10-cm wavelength [Skolnik 2003].

The S-MIMO Concept Statistical-MIMO radar offers the potential for significant
gains: Detection/estimation performance Resolution performance
Here, we focus only on detection performance
Our results question the common belief that one shouldmaximize the coherent processing gain.
With S-MIMO a very sparse array of sensors transmits a setof orthogonal waveforms.
By using this approach, we create many "independent"radars, that average out target scintillations.

Signal Model Point source assumption dominates current models used in
radar theory. This model is not adequate for an array of sensors with large
spacing between the array elements. Distributed target model

Concluding Remarks S-MIMO is a new concept for radar systems.
This concept utilizes spatial diversity in order to overcometarget scintillations.
At 90% probability of detection, the proposed systemoutperform phased array radars by 5 dB, which is equivalentto almost twice the range.
The S-MIMO radar can be shown to have superiorperformance in range estimation and resolution as well.
