US Patent 11567183 Radar detection of moving object with waveform separation residual

A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system for detecting a moving object is based on an explicit signal model. The explicit signal model accounts for waveform separation residuals by relating measurements of the virtual array to an auto-term including a Kronecker product of object-receiver signatures and transmitter-object signatures; and a cross-term including a Kronecker product of object-receiver signatures and transmitter-object residual signatures. The radar system uses a spatial MIMO object detector that is based on the explicit signal model to detect the moving object.
