MIMO Radar Design for Extended Target Detection in a Spectrally Crowded Environment
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems(2022)
Abstract
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar design for extended targets in a spectrally crowded environment is a challenge owing to the high sensitivity of the target impulse response (TIR) and the increasing requests for spectrum. Assuming unknown TIR, this paper proposes a joint design method to optimize the transmit waveforms and receive filter bank in MIMO structure ensuring spectral compatibility with the overlayed radiators. A priori information is used to impose a spectral constraint on the waveforms, which is the result of a non-convex optimization problem aimed at enhancing the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) over a finite uncertainty set for the TIR. The new method realizes an improved spectral cohabitation with the surrounding radiators through an appropriate modulation of the transmitted energy. In addition, we develop an iterative optimization algorithm which successively enhances the average SINR. Each iteration of the algorithm involves a hidden convex problem, which can be solved resorting to the rank-one decomposition procedure. Finally, the performance is assessed by studying the trade-off among the achieved SINR and spectral shape. The reported results are presented to analyze the performance of the devised method against several counterparts in terms of the SINR value and robustness.
