Research abstract
We propose a high-frequency (HF) band multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) radar with distributed transmitter and receivers. The system will support both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Over-the-Horizon (OTH) modes. The core of the transceiver is a simple correlation receiver which processes multiple waveforms and generates unified target reports. The transceiver will be implemented on a compact software-defined radio platform developed based on existing HF radar digital transceiver products. The transmitter/receivers communicate and synchronize with each other through GPS and ultra-wideband impulse transceivers.
