A design framework is proposed to optimize sparse MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) arrays for enhanced multi-target detection. It focuses on efficient utilization of antenna resources, minimizing inter-element mutual coupling, and exploring alternative grid-based sparse array (GBSA) configurations by efficiently separating interacting elements.
The framework explores optimization strategies for partial antenna element sharing, tailored for multi-mode radar applications, using the desirability function to improve performance across different operational modes. This research paper underscores the crucial role of effective sparse array processing in multi-target scenarios and showcases the benefits of the proposed design framework.
