MIMO OTFS With Arbitrary Time-Frequency Allocation for Joint Radar and Communications

This paper proposes a novel waveform, namely non-uniform OTFS (NU-OTFS), for joint radar and communication applications (Radcom) in multi-user/MIMO scenarios. Based on orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation, the proposed waveform is realized by using a non-uniform symplectic finite Fourier transform (NU-SFFT) to generate non...

Low Complexity Single-Snapshot DoA Estimation via Bayesian Compressive Sensing

The problem of single-snapshot direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with antenna arrays has been considered. A sectorized approach based on Bayesian Compressive Sensing (BCS) has been proposed. In this method, the angular space is discretized, defining many non-overlapping small grids which cover the desired large angular space. First, a BCS...

Fusion of Data from Multiple Automotive Radars for High-Resolution DoA Estimation

High angular resolution is in high demand in automotive radar. To achieve a high azimuth resolution a large aperture antenna array is required. Although MIMO technique can be used to form larger virtual apertures, a large number of transmitter-receiver channels are needed, which is still technologically challenging and costly. To circumvent this...

Total Variation Compressive Sensing for Extended Targets in MIMO Radar

The problem of extended target cross-section estimation has been considered. A two-step method based on the Total Variation Compressive Sensing theory has been proposed to solve it. First, a coarse estimation of the target cross-section is performed with classical beamforming methods, and then Compressive Sensing algorithms have been applied...

Heat source layout optimization for two-dimensional heat conduction using iterative reweighted L1-norm convex minimization

Optimization of heat source distribution in two dimensional heat conduction for electronic cooling problem is considered. Convex optimization is applied to this problem for the first time by reformulating the objective function and the non-convex constraints. Mathematical analysis is performed to describe the heat source equation and the...
