A new multi-SVD based subspace estimation algorithm is proposed to improve the direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation accuracy for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. First, the matched filter output is transformed to a 3-order tensor. Then the signal subspace is estimated by multi-SVD of the matrix unfoldings of this tensor or its covariance tensor. Since the multidimensional structure is utilized, the estimated signal subspace of our method has better accuracy than that of the traditional SVD/EVD method. Combined with the classical subspace based methods, such as MUSIC and ESPRIT, the proposed approach improves the angle estimation performance compared with the existing ones. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of our method.
