Automotive radar pursues low cost and high performance, and especially hopes to improve the angular resolution under the condition of a limited number of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar channels. Conventional time division multiplexing (TDM) MIMO technology has a limited ability to improve the angular resolution without increasing the number of channels. In this paper, a random time division multiplexing MIMO radar is proposed. First, the non-uniform linear array (NULA) and random time division transmission mechanism are combined in the MIMO system, and then a three-order sparse receiving tensor of a range-virtual aperture-pulse sequence is obtained during echo receiving. Next, this sparse three-order receiving tensor is recovered by using tensor completion technology. Finally, the range, velocity and angle measurements are completed for the recovered three-order receiving tensor signals. The effectiveness of this method is verified via simulations.
汽车雷达追求低成本和高性能,尤其希望在有限数量的多输入多输出(MIMO)雷达通道条件下提高角分辨率。传统的时分复用(TDM)MIMO 技术在不增加通道数量的情况下,提高角分辨率的能力有限。本文提出了一种随机时分复用 MIMO 雷达。首先,在 MIMO 系统中结合非均匀线阵(NULA)和随机时分传输机制,然后在回波接收过程中获得一个距离-虚拟孔径-脉冲序列的三阶稀疏接收张量。接下来,利用张量补全技术恢复这个稀疏的三阶接收张量。最后,对恢复的三阶接收张量信号完成距离、速度和角度测量。通过仿真验证了该方法的有效性。
