Off-Grid DOA Estimation for Colocated MIMO Radar via Reduced-Complexity Sparse Bayesian Learning

Recent advance on signal processing has witnessed increasing interest in machine learning. In this paper, we revisit the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar from the perspective of machine learning. The reduced-complexity transformation is first applied on the array data from matched filters, thus eliminating the redundancy of the array data for the relief of calculational burden. Furthermore, the pre-whitening is followed to obtain a simplified noise model. Finally, the DOA estimation is linked to off-grid sparse Bayesian learning (OGSBL), which does not require to update the noise hyper-parameter, and a block hyper-parameter is utilized to accelerate the convergence of the OGSBL algorithm. The proposed estimator provides better DOA estimation accuracy than the existing peak searching algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified via numerical simulation.
