Channel Modeling between Seaborne MIMO Radar and MIMO Cellular System
Abstract
Spectrum sharing between radars and cellular systems is an emerging area of research. In this paper, we model channel between a seaborne MIMO radar and MIMO cellular system. We model a 2D channel to capture the azimuth aspect of the spectrum sharing scenario. Our channel modeling methodology allows MIMO radar to place accurate nulls in the azimuth location of base stations (BS), thus, protecting them from harmful radar interference. We use a projection based approach, where radar waveform is projected onto null space of channel, for mitigating radar interference to BSs. This is also known as an approach based on eigen-nulling which is different from spatial-nulling commonly employed by radars. We show through simulations that the proposed spatial channel model allows eigen-nulling which performs superior to traditional spatial-nulling for interference mitigation. The proposed channel model can be leveraged to use eigen-nulling that enhances target detection and beampattern resolution of MIMO radar while mitigating interference to BSs.
