Abstract
MIMO radar uses multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving signals, enabling advanced signal processing to improve target detection, localization, and tracking. By employing beamforming techniques, MIMO radar can focus signals on specific directions, enhancing accuracy and robustness. Various adaptive beamforming algorithms are available to optimize the beam pattern, achieving maximum gain in the desired direction while minimizing interference. Comparing different techniques and steering directions allows us to evaluate beamforming effectiveness, while analysing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and target detection performance helps determine the optimal configuration for specific applications.
