Deep learning regression network for Joint DOD/DOA Estimation (Single‑Target) in MIMO radar systems
A lightweight deep learning‑based regression network is proposed, which directly maps MIMO virtual array snapshots to direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) without covariance estimation, spectrum generation or peak search. On simulated datasets, the model achieves improved RMSE compared to conventional 2D-MUSIC, especially at low SNR. The model is realised with ~O(H(H+MN)L) complexity, enabling near real‑time inference on edge hardware.
