In a typical MIMO radar scenario, transmit nodes transmit orthogonal waveforms, while each receive node performs matched filtering with the known set of transmit waveforms, and forwards the results to the fusion center. Based on the data it receives from multiple antennas, the fusion center formulates a matrix, which, in conjunction with standard array processing schemes, such as MUSIC, leads to target detection and parameter estimation. In MIMO radars with compressive sensing (MIMO-CS), the data matrix is formulated by each receive node forwarding a small number of compressively obtained samples. In this paper, it is shown that under certain conditions, in both sampling cases, the data matrix at the fusion center is low-rank, and thus can be recovered based on knowledge of a small subset of its entries via matrix completion (MC) techniques. Leveraging the low-rank property of that matrix, we propose a new MIMO radar approach, termed, MIMO-MC radar, in which each receive node either performs matched filtering with a small number of randomly selected dictionary waveforms or obtains sub-Nyquist samples of the received signal at random sampling instants, and forwards the results to a fusion center. Based on the received samples, and with knowledge of the sampling scheme, the fusion center partially fills the data matrix and subsequently applies MC techniques to estimate the full matrix. MIMO-MC radars share the advantages of the recently proposed MIMO-CS radars, i.e., high resolution with reduced amounts of data, but unlike MIMO-CS radars do not require grid discretization. The MIMO-MC radar concept is illustrated through a linear uniform array configuration, and its target estimation performance is demonstrated via simulations.

We consider a colocated MIMO radar scenario, in which the receive antennas forward their measurements to a fusion center. Based on the received data, the fusion center formulates a matrix which is then used for target parameter estimation. When the r
eceive antennas sample the target returns at Nyquist rate, and assuming that there are more receive antennas than targets, the data matrix at the fusion center is low-rank. When each receive antenna sends to the fusion center only a small number of samples, along with the sample index, the receive data matrix has missing elements, corresponding to the samples that were not forwarded. Under certain conditions, matrix completion techniques can be applied to recover the full receive data matrix, which can then be used in conjunction with array processing techniques, e.g., MUSIC, to obtain target information. Numerical results indicate that good target recovery can be achieved with occupancy of the receive data matrix as low as 50%.
Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar exhibits several advantages with respect to traditional radar array systems in terms of flexibility and performance. However, MIMO radar poses new challenges for both hardware design and digital processing.
In particular, achieving high azimuth resolution requires a large number of transmit and receive antennas. In addition, the digital processing is performed on samples of the received signal, from each transmitter to each receiver, at its Nyquist rate, which can be prohibitively large when high resolution is needed. Overcoming the rate bottleneck, sub-Nyquist sampling methods have been proposed that break the link between radar signal bandwidth and sampling rate. In this work, we extend these methods to MIMO configurations and propose a sub-Nyquist MIMO radar (SUMMeR) system that performs both time and spatial compression. We present a range-azimuth-Doppler recovery algorithm from sub-Nyquist samples obtained from a reduced number of transmitters and receivers, that exploits the sparsity of the recovered targets parameters. This allows us to achieve reduction in the number of deployed antennas and the number of samples per receiver, without degrading the time and spatial resolutions. Simulations illustrate the detection performance of SUMMeR for different compression levels and shows that both time and spatial resolution are preserved, with respect to classic Nyquist MIMO configurations. We also examine the impact of design parameters, such as antennas locations and carrier frequencies, on the detection performance, and provide guidelines for their choice.
This paper presents an analysis of target localization accuracy, attainable by the use of MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) radar systems, configured with multiple transmit and receive sensors, widely distributed over a given area. The Cramer-Rao
lower bound (CRLB) for target localization accuracy is developed for both coherent and non-coherent processing. Coherent processing requires a common phase reference for all transmit and receive sensors. The CRLB is shown to be inversely proportional to the signal effective bandwidth in the non-coherent case, but is approximately inversely proportional to the carrier frequency in the coherent case. We further prove that optimization over the sensors positions lowers the CRLB by a factor equal to the product of the number of transmitting and receiving sensors. The best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is derived for the MIMO target localization problem. The BLUEs utility is in providing a closed form localization estimate that facilitates the analysis of the relations between sensors locations, target location, and localization accuracy. Geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) contours are used to map the relative performance accuracy for a given layout of radars over a given geographic area.
In this paper, we derive an ambiguity function (AF) for the transmit beamspace (TB)-based multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) radar for the case of far-field targets and narrow-band waveforms. The effects of transmit coherent processing gain and wav
eform diversity are incorporated into the AF definition. To cover all the phase information conveyed by different factors, we introduce the equivalent transmit phase centers. The newly defined AF serves as a generalized AF form for which the phased-array (PA) and traditional MIMO radar AFs are important special cases. We establish relationships among the defined TB-based MIMO radar AF and the existing AF results including the Woodwards AF, the AFs defined for the traditional colocated MIMO radar, and also the PA radar AF, respectively. Moreover, we compare the TB-based MIMO radar AF with the square-summation-form AF definition and identify two limiting cases to bound its clear region in Doppler-delay domain that is free of sidelobes. Corresponding bounds for these two cases are derived, and it is shown that the bound for the worst case is inversely proportional to the number of transmitted waveforms K, whereas the bound for the best case is independent of K. The actual clear region of the TB-based MIMO radar AF depends on the array configuration and is in between of the worst- and best-case bounds. We propose a TB design strategy to reduce the levels of the AF sidelobes, and show in simulations that proper design of the TB matrix leads to reduction of the relative sidelobe levels of the TB-based MIMO radar AF.
Recently, integrating the communication and sensing functions into a common network has attracted a great amount of attention. This paper considers the advanced signal processing techniques for enabling the radar to sense the environment via the comm
unication signals. Since the technologies of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) are widely used in the legacy cellular systems, this paper proposes a two-stage signal processing approach for radar sensing in an MIMO-OFDM system, where the scattered channels caused by various targets are estimated in the first stage, and the location information of the targets is then extracted from their scattered channels in the second stage. Specifically, based on the observations that radar sensing is similar to multi-path communication in the sense that different targets scatter the signal sent by the radar transmitter to the radar receiver with various delay, and that the number of scatters is limited, we show that the OFDM-based channel training approach together with the compressed sensing technique can be utilized to estimate the scattered channels efficiently in Stage I. Moreover, to tackle the challenge arising from range resolution for sensing the location of closely spaced targets, we show that the MIMO radar technique can be leveraged in Stage II such that the radar has sufficient spatial samples to even detect the targets in close proximity based on their scattered channels. Last, numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of our proposed sensing approach which merely relies on the existing MIMO-OFDM communication techniques.
