Diversity smoothing has been widely used for angle estimation with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar in the presence of coherent or correlated targets, and the parameter identifiability is an interesting issue. Previous works have shown sufficient conditions for some special cases, such as the coherent targets with conventional MIMO radar, and the array size are derived as a function of the target number and target structure. In this article, we further introduce the interelement spacings to build a complete parameter identifiability scheme. For monostatic MIMO radars, the antenna numbers and interelement spacings of transmit and receive arrays are derived as functions of the target number and the target structure. The optimization models are built to calculate the maximum number of detectable targets for a given target structure. Additionally, the conditions for the bistatic MIMO radar are derived from two-dimension viewpoint. It is shown that the new results improve upon previous spatial smoothing or diversity smoothing methods and recover them in special cases. Simulation results are presented that corroborate our theoretical findings.
