Summary:A MIMO radar system with M transmitters and N receivers is used for target identification of unknown non-cooperative radar targets. The radar system is assumed wideband with sufficient bandwidth to obtain a target impulse response that shows significant scattering mechanisms and correlates well with the geometry of the target. Contributions in this paper are threefold: First, target identification in a Multi-Input-Multi-Output radar framework is established. Second, the system relies on real scattering signatures as seen by a wideband radar system. Third, the system is tested using real radar signatures collected in a compact range environment using a single-antenna stepped frequency radar interrogating commercial aircraft models at various azimuth angles.
