We present a novel scheme allowing for 2D target localization using highly quantized 1-bit measurements from a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar with two receiving antennas. Quantization of radar signals introduces localization artifacts, we remove this limitation by inserting a dithering on the unquantized observations. We then adapt the projected back projection algorithm to estimate both the range and angle of targets from the dithered quantized radar observations, with provably decaying reconstruction error when the number of observations increases. Simulations are performed to highlight the accuracy of the dithered scheme in noiseless conditions when compared to the non-dithered and full 32-bit resolution under severe bit-rate reduction. Finally, measurements are performed using a radar sensor to demonstrate the effectiveness and performances of the proposed quantized dithered scheme in real conditions.
In this paper, we further expand on the work in [1] that focused on the localization of targets in a 2D space using 1-bit dithered measurements coming from a 2 receiving antennae radar. Our aim is to further reduce the hardware requirements and bit-rate, by dropping one of the baseband IQ channel from each receiving antenna. To that end, the structure of the received signals is exploited to recover the positions of multiple targets. Simulations are performed to highlight the accuracy and limitations of the proposed scheme under severe bit-rate reduction.
In a frequency division duplex (FDD) massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system, the channel state information (CSI) feedback causes a significant bandwidth resource occupation. In order to save the uplink bandwidth resources, a 1-bit compressed sensing (CS)-based CSI feedback method assisted by superimposed coding (SC) is proposed. Using 1-bit CS and SC techniques, the compressed support-set information and downlink CSI (DL-CSI) are superimposed on the uplink user data sequence (UL-US) and fed back to base station (BS). Compared with the SC-based feedback, the analysis and simulation results show that the UL-USs bit error ratio (BER) and the DL-CSIs accuracy can be improved in the proposed method, without using the exclusive uplink bandwidth resources to feed DL-CSI back to BS.
FAR has improved anti-jamming performance over traditional pulse-Doppler radars under complex electromagnetic circumstances. To reconstruct the range-Doppler information in FAR, many compressed sensing (CS) methods including standard and block sparse recovery have been applied. In this paper, we study phase transitions of range-Doppler recovery in FAR using CS. In particular, we derive closed-form phase transition curves associated with block sparse recovery and complex Gaussian matrices, based on prior results of standard sparse recovery under real Gaussian matrices. We further approximate the obtained curves with elementary functions of radar and target parameters, facilitating practical applications of these curves. Our results indicate that block sparse recovery outperforms the standard counterpart when targets occupy more than one range cell, which are often referred to as extended targets. Simulations validate the availability of these curves and their approximations in FAR, which benefit the design of the radar parameters.
We consider the problem of sparse signal reconstruction from noisy one-bit compressed measurements when the receiver has access to side-information (SI). We assume that compressed measurements are corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise before quantization and sign-flip error after quantization. A generalized approximate message passing-based method for signal reconstruction from noisy one-bit compressed measurements is proposed, which is then extended for the case where the receiver has access to a signal that aids signal reconstruction, i.e., side-information. Two different scenarios of side-information are considered-a) side-information consisting of support information only, and b) side information consisting of support and amplitude information. SI is either a noisy version of the signal or a noisy estimate of the support of the signal. We develop reconstruction algorithms from one-bit measurements using noisy SI available at the receiver. Laplacian distribution and Bernoulli distribution are used to model the two types of noises which, when applied to the signal and the support, yields the SI for the above two cases, respectively. The Expectation-Maximization algorithm is used to estimate the noise parameters using noisy one-bit compressed measurements and the SI. We show that one-bit compressed measurement-based signal reconstruction is quite sensitive to noise, and the reconstruction performance can be significantly improved by exploiting available side-information at the receiver.
The 1-bit compressed sensing framework enables the recovery of a sparse vector x from the sign information of each entry of its linear transformation. Discarding the amplitude information can significantly reduce the amount of data, which is highly beneficial in practical applications. In this paper, we present a Bayesian approach to signal reconstruction for 1-bit compressed sensing, and analyze its typical performance using statistical mechanics. Utilizing the replica method, we show that the Bayesian approach enables better reconstruction than the L1-norm minimization approach, asymptotically saturating the performance obtained when the non-zero entries positions of the signal are known. We also test a message passing algorithm for signal reconstruction on the basis of belief propagation. The results of numerical experiments are consistent with those of the theoretical analysis.
