Abstract

We examine the clutter covariance matrices for ground moving-target indicator (GMTI) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems, and, in particular, discuss a potential suboptimal increase in their rank. This increase in rank will generically degrade the ability of a MIMO GMTI system to detect slowly moving targets. We first give a general theoretical analysis and then focus on simulated and experimental data for MIMO systems employing fast-time random, time-division multiple-access (TDMA), and Doppler-division multiple-access (DDMA) waveforms. We will show that for the TDMA/DDMA waveforms the clutter covariance matrix in a given Doppler bin is effectively rank 1 for both the simulated and experimental data.
