PRISM: An In-Vehicle CPU-Oriented Novel Azimuth Estimation Technique for Electronic-Scan 76-GHz Adaptive-Cruise-Control Radar System

This paper describes an in-vehicle azimuth estimation technique for 76-GHz adaptive cruise control radar systems. A signal covariance matrix was developed using an improved spatial smoothing (SS) technique, thus solving rank deficiency of the covariance matrix and decreasing the influence of dominant noise components. In addition, a new projection matrix kernel for azimuth estimation was derived. The estimate technique is named PRISM (PRopagator method based on an Improved Spatial-smoothing Matrix).
