Computationally Efficient Compressed Sensing-Based Method via FG Nyström in Bistatic MIMO Radar with Array Gain-Phase Error Effect

الملخص EN

In this paper, a robust angle estimator for uncorrelated targets that employs a compressed sense (CS) scheme following a fast greedy (FG) computation is proposed to achieve improved computational efficiency and performance for the bistatic MIMO radar with unknown gain-phase errors.

The algorithm initially avoids the wholly computation of the received signal by compiling a lower approximation through a greedy Nyström approach.

Then, the approximated signal is transformed into a sparse signal representation where the sparsity of the target is exploited in the spatial domain.

Finally, a CS method, Simultaneous Orthogonal Matching Pursuit with an inherent gradient descent method, is utilized to reconstruct the signal and estimate the angles and the unknown gain-phase errors.

The proposed algorithm, aside achieving closed-form resolution for automatically paired angle estimation, offers attractive computational competitiveness, specifically in large array scenarios.

Additionally, the analyses of the computational complexity and the Cramér–Rao bounds for angle estimation are derived theoretically.

Numerical experiments demonstrate the improvement and effectiveness of the proposed method against existing methods.
