Background – Past Performance So far all of the experiments were performed with high SNR, which is less applicative Algorithms handling of side lobes: Eli & Gal’s algorithm: OMP => O 2 MP Omer’s first algorithm: weren’t handled Amplitude recovery was inaccurate – biggest issue in separating targets from noise

Background – Sidelobes

Project Goals Extending the basic radar model to include Doppler shift detection Improving performance in different SNR scenarios Removing the model order constraint

2 nd Goal : Find Number of Targets Removing the model order constraint (4 targets)
16
The last implementation of O 2 MP, and most other CS algorithms required a priori knowledge of the model order. Remove this constraint by obtaining the information from the sampled signal 2 nd Goal : Find Number of Targets
17
Three conceptual ways: Pre processing determination of model order Determining model order as part of the processing Post processing determination of model order 2 nd Goal : Find Number of Targets

1 st Method : RMS calculating σ (RMS) and finding targets with amplitude larger then C * σ. By assuming Gaussian white noise we can calculate the probability of a Detection being false.

23
2 nd Method : Noise Floor
24
2 nd Method : Model Assumptions Again assuming FRI & Assumes there are a limited number of “similar” targets.
25
3 rd Method : Zero Target Noise Floor Calculating noise floor when the radar is aimed to a no target zone.
26
3 rd Method : Model Assumptions Again assuming FRI & Assumes we can calibrate the radar

Heuristic Parameters & Assumptions RMSNFZNF Parameter ratio of a false target and RMS Ratio between noise targets + Max Similar Amps Ratio between targets and noise floor Assumption Noise well defined by WGN approx. Artifacts smaller then threshold A known limit for target number Artifacts smaller then threshold

Compare Methods Results

Artifacts
31
There are always remnants when subtracting a target from the signal, resulting from estimation error
32
Artifact Estimation We simulated one target and forced the algorithm to find 2 We wanted to discover the amplitude of a first false target
33
We wanted to compare the 2 nd target found to the noise floor when there are no targets simulated Artifact Estimation
34
Fortunately we found that no false targets were added This proves that our subtraction is working well Artifact Estimation
35
Samples obtained from demo system Were analyzed by the algorithm Substantial artifacts remained Model order was properly estimated (after accounting for larger artifacts then simulation ) When sampling real (i.e. not complex) signals we cannot separate positive and negative velocities.
36
Problems encountered Targets that are sampled only in a real-valued channel with speed close to the edges (0 or maximal speed calculated) When simulating, the algorithms work well, however, while using real samples we have significant remnants Close targets (in time and speed space) cause a mismatch in model order
37
Speed Close to 0 and Remnants
39
Close Targets
40
Possible solutions Ignore targets found near previous hits (considering amplitude, distance and speed) For real signals - correlating the signal to an appropriate basis (DCT?)
