Description
Summary:A robust transmit-receive angle imaging method for bistatic MIMO radar based on compressed sensing is proposed. A new imaging model with array gain and phase error is established. The array gain error and phase error were modeled as a random interference for observation matrix by mathematical derivation. A constraint of observation matrix error is constructed in optimization problem of sparse recovery to reduce the effect of the interference of observation matrix. Then, the iterative algorithm of the optimization problems is derived. The proposed recovery method is more robust than the existed method in small samples, especially in the case of one snapshot. It is applicable in the case of relatively small array gain and phase errors. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
