Adaptive channel selection for DOA estimation in MIMO radar
We present adaptive strategies for antenna selection for Direction of Arrival
(DoA) estimation of a far-field source using TDM MIMO radar with linear arrays.
Our treatment is formulated within a general adaptive sensing framework that
uses one-step ahead predictions of the Bayesian MSE using a parametric family
of Weiss-Weinstein bounds that depend on previous measurements. We compare in
simulations our strategy with adaptive policies that optimize the Bobrovsky-
Zaka{\i} bound and the Expected Cram\'er-Rao bound, and show the performance
for different levels of measurement noise.Comment: Submitted to the 25th European Signal Processing Conference

Low-Complexity Reduced-Rank Beamforming Algorithms
A reduced-rank framework with set-membership filtering (SMF) techniques is
presented for adaptive beamforming problems encountered in radar systems. We
develop and analyze stochastic gradient (SG) and recursive least squares
(RLS)-type adaptive algorithms, which achieve an enhanced convergence and
tracking performance with low computational cost as compared to existing
techniques. Simulations show that the proposed algorithms have a superior
performance to prior methods, while the complexity is lower.Comment: 7 figure
Massive MIMO is a Reality -- What is Next? Five Promising Research Directions for Antenna Arrays
Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is no longer a "wild" or
"promising" concept for future cellular networks - in 2018 it became a reality.
Base stations (BSs) with 64 fully digital transceiver chains were commercially
deployed in several countries, the key ingredients of Massive MIMO have made it
into the 5G standard, the signal processing methods required to achieve
unprecedented spectral efficiency have been developed, and the limitation due
to pilot contamination has been resolved. Even the development of fully digital
Massive MIMO arrays for mmWave frequencies - once viewed prohibitively
complicated and costly - is well underway. In a few years, Massive MIMO with
fully digital transceivers will be a mainstream feature at both sub-6 GHz and
mmWave frequencies. In this paper, we explain how the first chapter of the
Massive MIMO research saga has come to an end, while the story has just begun.
The coming wide-scale deployment of BSs with massive antenna arrays opens the
door to a brand new world where spatial processing capabilities are
omnipresent. In addition to mobile broadband services, the antennas can be used
for other communication applications, such as low-power machine-type or
ultra-reliable communications, as well as non-communication applications such
as radar, sensing and positioning. We outline five new Massive MIMO related
research directions: Extremely large aperture arrays, Holographic Massive MIMO,
Six-dimensional positioning, Large-scale MIMO radar, and Intelligent Massive
MIMO.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Digital Signal Processin
Knowledge-aided STAP in heterogeneous clutter using a hierarchical bayesian algorithm
This paper addresses the problem of estimating the covariance matrix of a primary vector from heterogeneous samples and some prior knowledge, under the framework of knowledge-aided space-time adaptive processing (KA-STAP). More precisely, a Gaussian scenario is considered where the covariance matrix of the secondary data may differ from the one of interest. Additionally, some knowledge on the primary data is supposed to be available and summarized into a prior matrix. Two KA-estimation schemes are presented in a Bayesian framework whereby the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimates are derived. The first scheme is an extension of a previous work and takes into account the non-homogeneity via an original relation. {In search of simplicity and to reduce the computational load, a second estimation scheme, less complex, is proposed and omits the fact that the environment may be heterogeneous.} Along the estimation process, not only the covariance matrix is estimated but also some parameters representing the degree of \emph{a priori} and/or the degree of heterogeneity. Performance of the two approaches are then compared using STAP synthetic data. STAP filter shapes are analyzed and also compared with a colored loading technique
Performance Analysis of Sparse Recovery Based on Constrained Minimal Singular Values
The stability of sparse signal reconstruction is investigated in this paper.
We design efficient algorithms to verify the sufficient condition for unique
sparse recovery. One of our algorithm produces comparable results with
the state-of-the-art technique and performs orders of magnitude faster. We show
that the -constrained minimal singular value (-CMSV) of the
measurement matrix determines, in a very concise manner, the recovery
performance of -based algorithms such as the Basis Pursuit, the Dantzig
selector, and the LASSO estimator. Compared with performance analysis involving
the Restricted Isometry Constant, the arguments in this paper are much less
complicated and provide more intuition on the stability of sparse signal
recovery. We show also that, with high probability, the subgaussian ensemble
generates measurement matrices with -CMSVs bounded away from zero, as
long as the number of measurements is relatively large. To compute the
-CMSV and its lower bound, we design two algorithms based on the
interior point algorithm and the semi-definite relaxation
