A eight-element cylindrical antenna array is presented for MIMO radar applications. Each element is a printed fat dipole that operates at 3GHz. It provides a 360° full angle coverage of the azimuth plane and is able to estimate the direction of a target in any angle. Cramèr-Rao Lower Bound for a target's direction is computed for different values of signal to noise ratio. It shows that the antenna array provides stable estimation performance over the entire azimuth plane.
