Abstract

We investigated a phase-coded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar approach which uses concatenated codes based on Hadamard matrices and almost-perfect autocorrelation sequences (APASs). Due to the structure of concatenated codes, the correlators can be implemented with a small number of taps compared to the overall sequence length. However, this type of sequence set has some limitations, which we address in this contribution. Based on numerical simulations and measurements, which we carried out using a software-defined radar (SDR) platform with 16 MIMO channels at 77 GHz, we point out how these issues can be managed.
