Abstract

Abstract : A near field targets localisation method using parallel factor (PARAFAC) decomposition with a bistatic MIMO system is presented. PARAFAC has the interesting properties of uniqueness in the decomposition of tensor constructed from the received signal and automatic pairing of emitter and receiver directional vectors of a bistatic MIMO radar, which allow the estimation of the parameters of each source individually. Furthermore, the proposed method provides very good estimation performance, because it does not require the approximation of the directional vectors contrary to the most existing techniques.
