Widely-separated MIMO vs. multistatic radar for target localization

This paper considers the localization performance of MIMO radars with widely-separated antennas. A Multiple-Hypothesis (MH) based algorithm is proposed for multiple target localization problems where targets become unobservable in certain pairs of transmitters and receivers. In addition, the performance of MIMO radars in localizing multiple-scatterer targets is compared to that of multistatic radar systems. Finally, simulation results are provided in order to demonstrate the capability of MIMO radars in localizing multiple-scatterer targets.
