Description
Summary:Using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has revolutionized the radar field by providing higher resolution, improved target detection, and reduced interference. However, interrupting signals can significantly degrade the Performance of MIMO radar systems to transmit and receive signals simultaneously; MIMO radar systems employ multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver. This allows for improved spatial resolution and increased target detection capabilities. However, MIMO radar systems are susceptible to fading and interference, degrading performance. STC is a technique to mitigate these effects by transmitting multiple signals simultaneously from different antennas. This article evaluates the performance of space-time coding (STC) with coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. The paper investigates the impact of STC on the radar system's detection and estimation capabilities in various scenarios, including target detection in cluttered environments and target tracking in the presence of interference. The simulation results demonstrate that STC can significantly improve the radar system's performance by reducing interference effects and increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, the study shows that different STC schemes have varying degrees of effectiveness depending on the specific scenario. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of using STC with coherent MIMO radar for various applications.
