Cumulative detection probability of stationary and moving targets by MIMO radar

Recently, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar attracts considerable attention. In this paper, the cumulative detection probability by MIMO radar is investigated. As the title implies, this paper consists of two parts. The first part studies on the cumulative performance of stationary targets. It is observed that the detection performance may be significantly improved by increasing cumulative time. In the second part, the cumulative detection probability of moving targets by MIMO radar is computed. As we known, it is difficult to acquire instantaneous speed or Doppler frequency of moving targets. Influenced by the fact that it is more difficult to detect or track far objects than ones are close to the observer, in terms of moving target detection, our proposed cumulative detection probability calculation is based on the average speed, or says travel distance during cumulative time. Various moving targets with different Radar Cross Section (RCS) are examined. Lastly, relevant Monte Carlo simulation results are provided.
