摘要：Scientists have explored that WiMAX has the potential to enhance the performance of the radar networks. With the idea of implementing MIMO (multi-input multi-output) communication technology for overcoming the challenges offered by hostile channel and environmental effects. It leads the technocrats to utilize this technology in radar operations. WiMAX MIMO can exploit the range of WiMAX and the spatial diversity of MIMO radar. A WiMAX based MIMO radar system is introduced in this paper. In conventional radar, the target�s radar cross section (RCS) measurement at very low SNR level is very difficult and degrades the overall radar performance under mobile condition. This paper focuses on WiMAX-based passive radar design based on a MIMO-OFDM testbed for getting information about the nearby target vehicle. It also explores potential of MIMO radar regarding the probability of target detection in low signal to clutter ratio (SCR) level.
