A Robust Blind Sparsity Target Parameter Estimation Algorithm for Compressive Sensing Radar

In order to enhance the performance of estimating range-Doppler parameters in presence of mismatch error between sensing matrix and target information vector for Compressive Sensing Radar (CSR), a robust blind sparsity target parameter estimation algorithm is proposed. First, a two-dimensional sparse sensing model for range-Doppler estimation is established when there exists CSR system model mismatch error, and a waveform optimization object function is derived based on minimization Coherence of Sensing Matrix (CSM). Then, a novel blind sparsity CSR algorithm is employed to correct system sensing matrix and estimate the range-Doppler parameters by optimizing iteratively transmit waveform, system mismatch error and target information vector. Compared with traditional CSR algorithm, the proposed method reduces the range-Doppler estimation error, and enhances the accuracy and robustness of CSR target information estimation. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated with numerical simulation.
