On the Robustness of the APES Algorithm in the Parameter Estimation of MIMO Radars
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar uses multiple antennas to simultaneously transmit independent signals to illuminate the targets
while uses multiple antennas to receive the reflected signals.In this proposal
the robustness of the parameter estimation in MIMO radar systems is considered.With the azimuth estimated by maximum likelihood method
the estimate of the fading vector is obtained by applying the amplitude and phase estimation (APES) technique.Motivated by the development of robust Capon beamformer (RCB)
a robust APES estimator of the fading vector is derived as well by considering the inaccuracy estimation of the azimuth.The simulation results show that both APES estimators behave rather similar.And hence
the APES algorithm is robust in the parameter estimation of MIMO radars.
