Joint detector and estimator design for widely separated MIMO radars

This paper considers the detector design and performance analysis in a widely separated multiple input - multiple output (S-MIMO) radar. We studied this subject under some assumptions such as single point target, Swerling models for radar cross section and Gaussian interference. The target is moving in piecewise linear trajectory and multi-scan data is stored. So, the target cell maybe changed through the time. A GLRT detector is derived that employs all data at once in a central unit. The performance of detector is extracted and numerical simulations verify all results.
