<正>This paper discusses the problem of direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival(DOA) estimation for a bistatic multiple input multiple output(MIMO) radar,and proposes an improved reduced-dimension Capon algorithm therein.Compared with the reduced-dimension Capon algorithm which requires pair matching between the two-dimensional angle estimation,the proposed algorithm can obtain automatically paired DOD and DOA estimation without debasing the performance of angle estimation in bistatic MIMO radar.Furthermore,the proposed algorithm has a lower complexity than the reduced-dimension Capon algorithm, and it is suitable for non-uniform linear arrays.The complexity of the proposed algorithm is analyzed and the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) is also derived.Simulation results verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.
