摘要

In this paper, we address the problem of angle estimation for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar in the presence of spatial colored noise. By exploiting the temporal structure and the multidimensional inherent structure, a fourth-order cross-covariance tensor is formulated to eliminate the effect of spatial colored noise. The higher-order singular value decomposition is utilized for accurate signal subspace estimation. Thereafter, angles are obtained with the shift-invariance technique. The proposed method can achieve automatic pairing of the estimated angles without any virtual aperture loss, thus it has better estimation performance than existing methods. Extensive numerical experiments verify the effectiveness and improvement of our algorithm.
