Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar has been receiving increasing attention in recent years from researchers, practitioners, and funding agencies. MIMO radar is characterized by using multiple antennas to simultaneously transmit diverse (possibly linearly independent) waveforms and by utilizing multiple antennas to receive the reflected signals. Like MIMO communications, MIMO radar offers a new paradigm for signal processing research. MIMO radar possesses significant potentials for fading mitigation, resolution enhancement, and interference and jamming suppression. Fully exploiting these potentials can result in significantly improved target detection, parameter estimation, as well as target tracking and recognition performance.

The objective of this contributed book is to introduce more recent developments on MIMO radar, to stimulate new concepts, theories, and applications of the topic, and to foster further cross-fertilization of ideas with MIMO communications. This book, which is the first to present a coherent picture of the MIMO radar topic, includes an excellent list of contributions by distinguished authors from both academia and research laboratories.

The book is organized as follows. The first seven chapters focus on the merits of the waveform diversity, allowed by transmit and receive antenna arrays containing elements that are collocated, to improve the radar performance, while the last three chapters exploit the diversity, offered by widely separated transmit/receive antenna
elements, to achieve performance gains.
