Generalized Ambiguity Function for Trajectory Parameters for Forward-Scattering Bistatic MIMO Radar

In the article, an analytic expression of the generalized ambiguity function for the forward-scattering bistatic radar is derived according to multi-frequency MIMO location. Two-dimensional cross sections of the generalized ambiguity function are presented for narrowband and wideband forward-scattering bistatic radar and for multi-frequency forward-scattering MIMO radar. Based on these results, we carried out a comparative analysis of these systems and showed major advantages of using wideband signal and principles of MIMO for forward-scattering bistatic radar
