Abstract

This paper presents experimental verification and results for a novel process of creating an optimized virtual array for a Multi-Input, Multi-Output (MIMO) antenna array. MIMO radars utilize the concept of a virtual array to increased range and angular resolution as compared to non-MIMO phased array radars. There exist certain linear phased array antenna geometries where the MIMO virtual array can become overrepresented. Generation of an optimized MIMO antenna virtual array can be accomplished using full virtualization, the process of creating separate virtual arrays. Experimental results are shown to match with the theoretical prediction of SNR improvement.
