Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for processing radar signals from a sparse MIMO array. In some embodiments, the signals from a MIMO radar array are processed to generate a sparse virtual array. Then, by using a two-dimensional (2D) variant of missing-data iterative adaptive approach (missing-data IAA or MIAA) to process the virtual array, the system can estimate information from the missing antennas of the sparse virtual array. Then, by using the now full virtually array, the system can process the virtual array using a variant of multi-dimensional folding (MDF) to discover the existence and location (e.g., distance, elevation, and azimuth) of objects (also called scatterers) within the MIMO radar array's field of view.
