| Summary: | This paper addresses the problem of target localization in a distributed waveform diverse array radar system, exploiting the technique of sparse reconstruction. At the configuration stage, the distributed radar system consists of two individual Frequency Diverse Array Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (FDA-MIMO) radars and one single Element-Pulse Coding MIMO (EPC-MIMO) radar. To obtain the angle and incremental range (i.e., the range offset between the sampling point and actual position within the range bin) of the targets in each local radar, two sparse reconstruction-based algorithms, including the grid-based Iterative Adaptive Approach (IAA) and gridless Atomic Norm Minimization (ANM) algorithms, are implemented. Furthermore, multiple sets of local statistics are fused at the fusion center, where a Weighted Least Squares (WLS) method is performed to localize targets. At the analysis stage, the estimation performance of the proposed methods, encompassing both IAA and ANM algorithms, is evaluated in contrast to the Cramér–Rao Bound (CRB). Numerical results and parametric studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed sparse reconstruction methods for target localization in the distributed waveform diverse array system. |
