Compressive Sensing-Based Joint Range-Doppler and Clutter Estimation.

In this paper, we address the problem of radar range-Doppler imaging in the presence of clutter. Specifically, we formulate the range-Doppler imaging problem as that of recovery of a sparse vector contaminated by clutter in addition to noise. We propose a sparse Bayesian learning (SBL)-based algorithm to jointly obtain the range-Doppler image, variance of the noise, and covariance matrix of the clutter. Furthermore, we adapt a simple pruning mechanism that reduces the computational cost and improves the convergence speed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
