Abstract

This work focuses on target detection in a colocated MIMO radar system. Instead of exploiting the »classical' temporal domain, we propose to explore the spatial dimension (i.e., number of antennas M) to derive asymptotic results for the detector. Specifically, we assume no a priori knowledge of the statistics of the autoregressive data generating process and propose to use a mispecified Wald-type detector, which is shown to have an asymptotic χ-squared distribution as M → ∞. Closed-form expressions for the probabilities of false alarm and detection are derived. Numerical results are used to validate the asymptotic analysis in the finite system regime. It turns out that, for the considered scenario, the asymptotic performance is closely matched already for M ≥ 50.
