Multi-Target DoA Estimation With mmWave MIMO Radar Using Limited Number of Sensors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of estimating incoming signals' direction of arrival (DoA) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems when the number of reflectors exceeds that of the sensors. Existing methods, such as co-prime and nested arrays, address this limitation by increasing the degree of freedom (DoF) using expanded antenna array geometries. However, these methods introduce practical challenges, including increased array size and added system complexity and cost due to the additional receiver (Rx) front-end modules and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) units required for each antenna element. The proposed method overcomes these limitations and enables the detection of more targets than sensors without necessitating hardware modifications by using a standard uniform linear array (ULA) and enhancing the DoF entirely at the signal processing stage. The proposed method integrates the capabilities of the 2D multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm with the 2D forward-backward spatial smoothing (FBSS) technique to surpass the theoretical limit of the minimum angular resolution. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through extensive simulations and real-world measurements. Comparative evaluations against popular DoA estimation techniques further underscore its practical advantages and robustness.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
