Compressive detection of multiple targets in passive bistatic radar

Abstract

The problem of compressive detection of multiple targets in a passive bistatic radar system consisting of one illuminator of opportunity and one receiver is considered. Specifically, a measurement matrix is designed to remove the direct-path and multi-path interference and obtain the compressive observations simultaneously. Considering that the degree of sparsity, that is, the number of targets, is unknown, an orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP)-based detector, referred to as the ‖r k ‖ ∞ -based OMP detector, is proposed by analysing the distribution characteristics of the infinite norm of the residual. It is shown that the test statistic of the proposed detector leads to an order statistic, and then a closed-form expression of probability of false alarm and detection of the proposed detector is provided. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to verify the theoretical analysis and illustrate the performance of the proposed detector relative to several benchmark detectors.

A Multi-Scale Fusion Strategy for Side Scan Sonar Image Correction to Improve Low Contrast and Noise Interference

“…Next, in order to solve the challenge of obtaining D and X variables in unconstrained optimization, we apply the overcomplete technique of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) [34] to construct the initial dictionary D 0 . The orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm [35] is used by the associated starting sparse matrix X 0 to carry out sparse encoding on the image blocks. The two optimization variables, d k and X k T , are solved for the use of singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithms.…”

Beamforming Techniques for Passive Radar: An Overview

“…However, most of the work focuses on scenarios where the detection capabilities of the system focus on searching for a single target. A more challenging scenario arises when multiple targets are present, especially when the number of targets is not available [ 63 , 64 ]. Smart employment of the scenario information and target attributes is the key to obtaining reasonable performance detection even without reference signals [ 65 , 66 ].…”

A Comparative Study on Human Movement Classification Using Wi-Fi Based Passive Forward Scattering Radar

“…The advantages of radar technology are due to its ability to perform multiple detections while not violating privacy and ensuring user convenience [1]. Two radar topologies commonly used for movement detection are the monostatic [2] and bistatic topologies [3]. The former holds the advantage of relatively lower cost as both the transmitter and receiver components are embedded in the same sensing module.…”
