In this paper, we propose a new solution for the detection problem of a coherent target in heterogeneous environments. Specifically, we first assume that clutter returns from different range bins share the same covariance structure but…

This paper considers the problem of estimating a high-dimensional (HD) covariance matrix when the sample size is smaller, or not much larger, than the dimensionality of the data, which could potentially be very large. We develop a…

In many astrophysical settings covariance matrices of large datasets have to be determined empirically from a finite number of mock realisations. The resulting noise degrades inference and precludes it completely if there are fewer…

This paper considers sparse spiked covariance matrix models in the high-dimensional setting and studies the minimax estimation of the covariance matrix and the principal subspace as well as the minimax rank detection. The optimal rate of…

We address adaptive radar detection of targets embedded in ground clutter dominated environments characterized by a symmetrically structured power spectral density. At the design stage, we leverage on the spectrum symmetry for the…

We propose a distributionally robust formulation for simultaneously estimating the covariance matrix and the precision matrix of a random vector.The proposed model minimizes the worst-case weighted sum of the Frobenius loss of the…

In this paper, we address the problem of classifying data within the radar reference window in terms of statistical properties. Specifically, we partition these data into statistically homogeneous subsets by identifying possible clutter…

We seek to improve estimates of the power spectrum covariance matrix from a limited number of simulations by employing a novel statistical technique known as shrinkage estimation. The shrinkage technique optimally combines an empirical…

Standard noise radars, as well as noise-type radars such as quantum two-mode squeezing radar, are characterized by a covariance matrix with a very specific structure. This matrix has four independent parameters: the amplitude of the…

We study the problem of estimating a rank one signal matrix from an observed matrix generated by corrupting the signal with additive rotationally invariant noise. We develop a new class of approximate message-passing algorithms for this…

The spherically invariant random process (SIRP) clutter model is commonly used in scenarios where the radar clutter cannot be correctly modeled as a Gaussian process. In this short communication, we devise a novel Maximum-Likelihood…

Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is one of the most effective approaches to suppressing ground clutters in airborne radar systems. It basically takes two forms, i.e., full-dimension STAP (FD-STAP) and reduced-dimension STAP (RD-STAP).…

We propose an analytical framework based on stochastic geometry (SG) formulations to estimate a radar's detection performance under generalized discrete clutter conditions. We model the spatial distribution of discrete clutter scatterers as…

Multichannel frequency estimation with incomplete data and miscellaneous noises arises in array signal processing, modal analysis, wireless communications, and so on. In this paper, we consider maximum-likelihood(-like) optimization methods…

In this paper, we tackle for the first time the problem of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) parameter over time-varying single-input multiple-output (SIMO) channels. Both the data-aided (DA) and the…

This letter deals with the problem of clutter edge detection and localization in training data. To this end, the problem is formulated as a binary hypothesis test assuming that the ranks of the clutter covariance matrix are known, and…

Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is an effective tool for detecting a moving target in spaceborne or airborne radar systems. Statistical-based STAP methods generally need sufficient statistically independent and identically distributed…

Adaptive algorithms based on sample matrix inversion belong to an important class of algorithms used in radar target detection to overcome prior uncertainty of interference covariance. Sample matrix inversion problem is generally ill…

Electronic Phased-Array Radars offer new possibilities for Optimization of Radar Search Pattern by using bi-dimensional beam forming and beam steering, along both elevation and azimuth axes. The minimization of the Time-Budget required for…

Estimating the number of signals embedded in noise is a fundamental problem in array signal processing. The classic RMT estimator based on random matrix theory (RMT) tends to under-estimate the number of signals as it does not consider the…
