contents Recent advancements in Wi-Fi sensing have sparked interest in exploiting OFDM modulated communication signals for target detection and tracking. In this study, we address the angle-based localization of multiple targets using a multistatic OFDM radar. While the maximum likelihood approach optimally merges data from each radar pair comprised by the system, it entails a complex multi-dimensional search process. Leveraging pre-estimation of the targets' parameters obtained via the MUSIC algorithm, our method decouples this multi-dimensional search into a single two-dimensional estimator per target. The proposed alternating summation method allows the computation of a combined likelihood map aggregating contributions from each radar pair, enabling target detection via peak selection. Besides reducing computational complexity, the method effectively captures target interactions and accommodates varying radar pair localization abilities. Also, it requires transmitting only the estimated channel covariance matrices of each radar pair to the central processor. Numerical simulations demonstrate superior performance over existing approaches.
