However, the direct deconvolution algorithm of the point spread function (PSF) shift-variant model has a large computational burden. This paper presents a non-uniform spatial resampling Richardson-Lucy (RL) fast algorithm, which based on energy distribution of conventional acoustic image measurement result make the original uniform space scanning to non-uniform spatial resampling. It can reduce the number of scanning grid, so as to reduce the amount of computation. Simulation results show that the fast RL algorithm can achieve the performance close to the original RL algorithm by reducing the computational amount by nearly an order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"15 15","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91446646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The waveform design is one of the critical issues in the design of MIMO radar system. In this paper, a new MIMO radar waveform design method based on time domain and frequency domain joint optimization is proposed. Firstly, a continuous phase coded signal waveform set is chosen to be the optimization objective variable. The design objectives is that all waveforms in the set are orthogonal in time domain, and the power spectral density (PSD) of every waveform approximates to the desired distribution in the frequency domain. According to the requirements, the problems in time domain and frequency domain are analyzed, respectively. Meanwhile, two objective functions based on minimizing the weighted correlation sidelobe level (MWISL) and minimizing the stopband power spectral density (MSPSD) are established. Then, an optimal scale factor is introduced to integrate the time domain and frequency domain into a combined model and a close form solution of code element is deduced through proper simplification and equalization of the time-frequency (T-F) joint optimization model. A recursive algorithm is obtained by summarizing the derivation process. At last, numerical examples prove the effectiveness of the proposed method in matching desired spectrum distribution and decreasing correlation sidelobe.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79526067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we explore the greedy CD on solving non-negative quadratic programming (NQP). The greedy CD generally has much more expensive per-update complexity than its cyclic and randomized counterparts. However, on the NQP, these three CDs have almost the same per-update cost, while the greedy CD can have significantly faster overall convergence speed. We also apply the proposed greedy CD as a subroutine to solve linearly constrained NQP and the non-negative matrix factorization.

Specifically, by exploiting the inherent sparse structural characteristics of NA, we first switch the sparse subarray on to perform initial DOA estimation, which enables to offer the well-performed estimates free from the severe mutual coupling effect. Subsequently, the unambiguous angles are determined with low complexity by utilizing the received signal of the whole NA. Furthermore, the contaminated steering vector is reconstructed and a quadratic optimization problem is established to estimate the mutual coupling coefficients. Finally, re-estimation is conducted to obtain the refined estimates. Numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84227458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reflections from such targets are often overpowered by those from stronger nearby targets and clutter. Considering a 3-D data model where the coherent processing interval comprises multiple pulses, a novel weak target detection and estimation approach is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on creating partially overlapping spatial beams, and performing canonical correlation analysis (CCA) in the resulting beamspace. It is shown that if a target is present in the overlap sector, then its Doppler profile can be reliably estimated via beamspace CCA, even if hidden under much stronger interference from nearby targets and clutter. Numerical results are included to validate this theoretical claim, demonstrating that the proposed Beamspace Canonical Correlation (BCC) method yields considerable performance improvement over existing approaches.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"62 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82065440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
