We propose a design strategy for optimizing antenna positions in linear arrays for far-field Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimation of narrow-band sources in collocated MIMO radar. Our methodology allows to consider any spatial constraints and number of antennas, using as optimization function the Weiss-Weinstein bound formulated for an observation model with random target phase and known SNR, over a pre-determined Field-of-View (FoV). Optimized arrays are calculated for the typical case of a 77GHz MIMO radar of 3Tx and 4Rx channels. Simulations demonstrate a performance improvement of the proposed arrays compared to the corresponding uniform and minimum redundancy arrays for a wide regime of SNR values.
