Bistatic MIMO radar for near field source localization using PARAFAC
Résumé
In this paper, we present a near field targets localization method usingPARAFAC decomposition with a bistatic MIMO system. PARAFAChas the interesting properties of uniqueness in the decomposition oftensor constructed from the received signal and automatic pairing ofemitter and receiver directional vectors of a bistatic MIMO radar, whichallow the estimation of the parameters of each source individually.Furthermore, the proposed method provides very good estimationperformance, because it doesn’t require the approximation of thedirectional vectors contrary to the most existing techniques.
