Automotive radar sensors are vital for enhancing vehicle safety and autonomy, enabling functionalities such as adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance. The performance of these radar systems is highly dependent on the selected waveform. There are several waveform options for automotive radar…
This study focuses on multiple target detection in the presence of signal-dependent clutter using a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar system. The problem is formulated as worst-case SINR maximization (max-min optimization), which is a function of the MIMO waveform, under the hardware-inspi…
In this paper, we present a Situational Awareness based Resource Allocation (SA-RA) strategy for multi-target tracking (MTT) in distributed radar networks, where both the resource utilization and overall MTT accuracy can be improved. The fusion rule with probabilistic data association (PDA) is used…
As an extension of the phased-array (PA) and frequency diverse array multi-input multi-output (FDA-MIMO) radars, the coherent FDA (C-FDA) radar simultaneously enjoys the merits from a higher coherent array gain and range-dependency, especially the range-angle decoupling. Based on these properties, C…
Due to the characteristics of light weight, low cost, and high resolution, millimeter wave (MMW) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars are widely applied in remote sensing and automotive systems. The MMW MIMO radar orthogonal waveform design is a key issue based on dechirp-on-receive techniqu…
In this paper, a power optimization (PO) strategy is proposed to combat deception jamming in multi-radar systems (MRSs) performing multi-target tracking (MTT). As a crucial parameter for distinguishing between physical and false targets in MRS under deception jamming, we propose integrating the dece…
The holes in difference coarrays (DCA) of coprime arrays (CA) limit the extension of the aperture thus causing the waste of resources. In this paper, we propose a generalized hole-filling strategy for hole-existing CAs with overlapping subarrays, which allows to extend the aperture completely and ac…
Joint sensing and communication (JSAC) has emerged as a promising technology in autonomous driving, as it allows simultaneous road sensing and two-way communication using a single shared platform. Meanwhile, intelligent reflective surface (IRS) enables sensing enhancement and communication with targ…
In this paper, we propose a novel reduced-dimensional decomposition method of coherent sources with arbitrary rectangle arrays, namely RD-MUSIC. Compared with the orientational invariance structure of two-dimensional spatial smoothing methods, the proposed RD-MUSIC utilizes the orthogonally similar…
In this paper, we develop a deep learning framework to optimize the compressive sampling matrix in a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. The optimized compressive sampling matrix is utilized to project high-dimensional data received at the massive MIMO system into a lower-dimension…
Optimizing a transmit MIMO radar waveform subject to the non-convex constant modulus constraint remains a problem of enduring interest. The past decade has seen a variety of tailored iterative approaches with various performance-complexity trade-offs. Despite promising work, iterative algorithms hav…
Massive multi-input-multi-output (MMIMO) cognitive radar can enhance the target detection ability in a dynamic environment via a continuous "perception-action" cycle. In our previous work, we proposed a reinforcement learning (RL) based approach for multi-target detection in MMIMO. However, this met…
This paper studies parameter estimation of a coupled mixture of polynomial phase signal (PPS) and sinusoidal frequency modulated (FM) signal, a newly introduced model motivated by industrial applications. Particularly, we analytically evaluate the estimation performance (or performance loss) via the…
This work focuses on target detection in a colocated MIMO radar system. Instead of exploiting the "classical’ temporal domain, we propose to explore the spatial dimension (i.e., number of antennas M) to derive asymptotic results for the detector. Specifically, we assume no a priori knowledge of the…
Focusing on the signal-to interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) maximization in colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars, using the covariance matrix design of transmitted waveforms, we propose a kind of transmit covariance matrix (TCM) <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML…
