A stylized compressed sensing radar is proposed in which the time-frequency plane is discretized into an N by N grid. Assuming the number of targets K is small (i.e., K much less than N^2), then we can transmit a sufficiently "incoherent"…
Existing convex relaxation-based approaches to reconstruction in compressed sensing assume that noise in the measurements is independent of the signal of interest. We consider the case of noise being linearly correlated with the signal and…
