Based on the echo signal data matrices obtained after analog-to-digital conversion of different modes, range-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and velocity-dimensional FFT are performed on them respectively to obtain the range-Doppler spectrum of different transmit / receive antenna combinations. Different modes with the same gain in the MIMO radar system are combined. Among the combinations with the same gain, the mode corresponding to the largest virtual array aperture in the horizontal and elevation directions under that gain is selected. The angles of these two modes are resolved and matched separately, and then combined to achieve the maximum virtual array aperture resolution. Digital beamforming is used to match the angle information obtained under the maximum aperture virtual array in the horizontal and elevation dimensions. This invention can effectively increase the maximum array aperture in the original modes with the same gain by utilizing the complementary effect between different reconfigurable array modes while using virtual array reconfigurable technology or MIMO technology.
