Description
Summary:In this paper, a multistatic radar system with multiple receivers and one transmitter is analyzed. We address the rules for selecting the weights for fusing multiple receivers in order to meet pre-specified performance goals. A multistatic radar ambiguity function is used to relate different radar performance measures to system parameters such as radar geometry and radar waveforms. Simulations are used to demonstrate that different performance criteria can lead to different rules for combining the signals from multiple receivers.
