A low computational complexity direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method is derived for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. In this method, we propose a novel bistatic MIMO radar geometry with one transmit array and two subarrays at the receive array, based on which the cross-correlation matrix is constructed. The DODs and DOAs can be estimated without eigendecomposition, thereby signi cantly reduce computational burden. Moreover, the DODs and DOAs can be paired automatically. Simulation results verify that the proposed method holds better performance than the unitary estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique and joint diagonalization direction matrix method.
