Abstract
A method exploiting the movement of the vehicle to boost the cross-range resolution of automotive radar by forming a larger virtual array is proposed. Initial simulated results show that the proposed method with the traditional Digital beamforming (DBF) algorithm can separate targets that cannot be otherwise recognized by the traditional MIMO approach. Furthermore, the proposed approach does not require prior knowledge of the number of targets, and can solve the MUSIC rank deficiency problem because of its larger virtual planar antenna.
