The major contribution of this work is the derivation of generalized expressions for false alarm and missed detection probabilities, applicable to a wide range of existing and new scenarios. Further, we proposed a generalized optimization framework for soft-information fusion to minimize the system’s decision error probability. This framework demonstrates that several existing and new optimization problems can be regarded as special cases. This work also proposes a framework to determine the minimum number of CR users required in the CR network to achieve the system’s target decision error probability. Theoretical findings are validated through numerical results under both heterogeneous and homogeneous configurations. The results indicate that the heterogeneous configuration yields a lower decision error probability compared to the homogeneous model.

Unlike conventional MIMO and/or phased-array (PA) radar systems, FDA-MIMO radar leverages additional range information, presenting a promising avenue for mitigating mainlobe deception interference. Our work begins by establishing a waveform-orthogonal FDA-MIMO radar received signal model under Gaussian noise, which encompasses thermal noise, suppression interference, and clutter after secondary range dependence compensation. Subsequently, we formulate the problem of binary hypothesis signal detection in the presence of mainlobe deception interference and training data within a detection scenario. To address this detection problem, we propose two adaptive detectors based on the one-step and two-step general likelihood ratio test (GLRT) criteria, denoted as OGLRT and TGLRT, respectively. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that our proposed detectors exhibit the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property against the noise covariance matrix. Moreover, the performance of our proposed methods surpasses that of existing subspace detectors, with OGLRT exhibiting the best detection performance. As the frequency offsets for FDA-MIMO radar decrease, the performance of all detectors gradually deteriorates until they no longer retain target detection capabilities.

This paper analyzes the advantages and limitations of MPR and CR for time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based localization under both known and unknown signal propagation speeds (SPS). While the Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) and hybrid Bhattacharyya–Barankin bound (HBBB) have been studied previously for known-SPS scenarios in Wang and Ho (2017), we derive and analyze the HBBB under the unknown-SPS setting. HBBB provides a tighter analytical evaluation beyond the CRLB, so it can quantify the thresholding effect when the source is distant or noise is high. Furthermore, an analytical comparison based on the Hessian of the maximum likelihood (ML) cost function is performed to reveal why MPR is more noise-robust in far-field conditions, whereas CR performs better in the near field—findings supported by the HBBB. Additionally, the far-field case is investigated, establishing the equivalence of MPR with the conventional far-field model in estimating both angles and SPS.
