MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) radar extends the traditional configuration of a single transmitter and receiver with the introduction of additional antennas. The motivation for introducing the multiple antennas is the ability to resolve the angular location of targets as well as making a system more robust to channel fading or other unfavourable operating conditions.
MIMO radar differs from Phased Array Radar, which similarly utilizes multiple receive and transmit antennas, in that a MIMO signal transmits orthogonal waveforms from each individual transmit antennas, giving channel diversity across each of the individual transmitter to receiver path ("virtual channel").
