This article considers the problem of multitarget detection for massive multiple input output cognitive radar (CR). The concept CR is based on perception-action cycle that senses and intelligently adapts to dynamic environment in order optimally satisfy a specific mission. However, this usually requires priori knowledge environmental model, which not available most cases. We propose reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm presence unknown disturbance statistics. acts as an agent continuously...

In this paper, we propose to utilize a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar system for multi-target localization. The goal is detect multiple targets with sufficient accuracy using an adaptive localization algorithm utilizing the concept of hierarchical codebook design. simulation results show that in case blocked line sight (LOS) between transmitter and targets, receiver can still localize all very good RIS.

In this paper a robust algorithm for DOA estimation of coherent sources in presence antenna array imperfections is presented. We exploit the current advances deep learning to overcome two most common problems facing state art algorithms (i.e. and imperfections). propose auto encoder (AE) that able correctly resolve without need spatial smoothing, hence avoiding possible processing overhead delays. Moreover, we assumed received signal model such as mutual coupling, gain/ phase mismatches,...
