MIMO Radar Imaging Based on Two-dimensional Compressive Sensing Recovery Algorithm

Abstract

Abstract Conventional sparse signal recovery-based MIMO radar imaging method rearranges the received two-dimensional (2D) signals into a vector, However, transforming the two dimensional equation to one dimensional equation then solving linear equation based sparse signal recovery problem requires huge memory and computational budget. A two-dimensional compressed sensing MIMO radar imaging algorithm based on improved smooth L0 norm is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a two-dimensional MIMO radar imaging model is established to transform the imaging problem into a sparse optimization problem. Then, the two-dimensional negative exponential function sequence is used as the smoothed function sequence to approximate the L0 norm. The two-dimensional imaging of MIMO radar is realized by cyclic iteration and gradient projection algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has advantages over the traditional compressed sensing algorithms.
