Abstract：For the low altitude target elevation direction finding scenario of bistatic multiple input multiple output(MIMO)radar,due to multipath effects,the transmitting and receiving steering vectors lose or-thogonality with the noise subspace due to coupling,resulting in the unavailability of subspace class algo-rithms mainly based on multiple signal classification(MUSIC)in this scenario,However,subspace algo-rithms based on spatial smoothing preprocessing suffer from low accuracy in angle estimation due to array aperture loss.To solve the above problems,this paper establishes a bistatic meter wave MIMO radar sin-gle target and incoherent multi target mirror reflection signal model.Based on the mathematical transfor-mation and analysis of the signal model,a steering vector matrix that is still orthogonal to the noise sub-space is discovered,then,a new guidance vector matrix combined with generalized MUSIC and maximum likelihood algorithm was used to propose a joint estimation method for the elevation direction of departure and arrival of low altitude targets in a bistatic meter wave MIMO radar.Finally,simulation experiments verified the effectiveness of the proposed method and the superiority of the elevation direction finding per-formance.
