A radar system has different modes of operation. In one mode the radar operates as a single-input, multiple-output (SIMO) radar system utilizing one transmitted signal from one antenna at a time. Codes with known excellent autocorrelation properties are utilized in this mode. At each receiver the response after correlating with various possible transmitted signals is measured in order to estimate the interference that each transmitter will represent at each receiver. The estimated effect of the interference from one transmitter on a receiver that correlates with a different code is used to mitigate the interference. In another mode, the radar operates as a MIMO radar system utilizing all the antennas at a time. Interference cancellation of the non-ideal cross correlation sidelobes when transmitting in the MIMO mode are employed to remove ghost targets due to unwanted sidelobes.

According to another aspect, a receiver structure for a MIMO system is provided that employs FDE-NP with successive interference cancellation (FDE-NP-SIC), which can extend the functionality of FDE-NP by ordering all linearly equalized data streams according to their minimum mean square errors (MMSEs) and detecting those streams which have a low MMSE first, thereby allowing current decisions of lower-indexed streams to be considered along with previous decisions for all data streams for noise prediction. According to a third aspect, a method for analyzing the performance of a MIMO system with equalization is provided. Pursuant to the method, a general expression of MMSE may first be derived. The MMSE expression may then be related to an error bound by applying the modified Chernoff bounding methodology in a general MIMO system.

The invention discloses an uplink secure transmission method based on downlink auxiliary feedback in a 5G communication system. In the first stage, a multi-antenna base station end sends both artificial interference and artificial noise signals on a downlink by means of a wave beam formation technology; and a single-antenna user end receives an emission signal from the base station end, and scrambles the received signal to a to-be-sent secret signal so that a mixed emission signal is formed. In the second stage, the user terminal broadcasts the mixed emission signal; and the base station end receives the mixed emission signal. Since the base station end already knows an artificial interference signal emitted by the base station itself, an expected secret signal can be separated from the received signal. A single-antenna passive eavesdropping end receives mixed signals during both transmission stages, and cannot know any prior information about the artificial interference and artificial noise signals, so the possibility of stealing secret information is low. Therefore, the transmission security of a 5G uplink single-input and multi-output system is effectively guaranteed.
