Master thesis (2025) - M. Mo, Alexander Yarovoy , R. Güneri, G. Joseph
This thesis investigates high-resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in a distributed automotive MIMO radar system consisting of two radars and four bistatic/monostatic apertures. To achieve super-resolution while keeping the computational load feasible, a two-stage DOA framework is developed: coarse beamforming with multi-aperture data association, followed by fine sparse reconstruction using both non-coherent and coherent FOCUSS. A complete phase-synchronization and geometric compensation model is derived to enable coherent fusion, and several numerical-stabilization techniques are introduced to ensure reliable reconstruction. Finally, this work proposes a modified array configuration that suppresses sidelobes for large baselines, significantly improving coherent performance. The results demonstrate enhanced angular resolution, robustness, and the feasibility of coherent sensing in distributed automotive radar. ...
