Estimating the spatial parameters of the signals by using the effective data of a single snapshot is essential in the field of reconnaissance and confrontation. Major drawback of existing algorithms is that its constructed covariance matrix has a great degree of rank loss. The performance of existing algorithms gets degraded with low signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper, a three-parallel linear array based algorithm is proposed to achieve two-dimensional direction of arrival estimates in a single snapshot scenario. The key points of the proposed algorithm are: 1) construct three pseudo matrices with full rank and no rank loss by using the single snapshot data from the received signal model; 2) by using the rotation relation between pseudo matrices, the matched 2D-DOA is obtained with an efficient parameter matching method. Main objective of this work is on improving the angle estimation accuracy and reducing the loss of degree of freedom in single snapshot 2D-DOA estimation.

This paper considers tracking of a non-cooperative emitter based on a single sensor. To this end, the direct target motion analysis (DTMA) approach, where the target state is straightforwardly achieved from the received signal, is exploited. In order to achieve observability, the sensor has to perform a maneuver relative to the emitter. By suitably building an approximated likelihood function, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), which is able to work under high nonlinearity of the measurement model, is adopted to recursively estimate the target state. Besides, the posterior Cramér-Rao bound (PCRB) of DTMA, which can be used as performance benchmark, is also achieved. The effectiveness of proposed method is verified via simulation experiments.

This paper aims to design multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar receiving weights and transmitting waveforms, in order to obtain better spatial filtering performance and enhance the robustness in the case of signal-dependent interference and jointly inaccurate estimated angles of target and interference. Generally, an alternate iterative optimization algorithm is proposed for the joint design problem. Specifically, the receiving weights are designed by the generalized eigenvalue decomposition of the matrix which contains the estimated information of the target and interference. As the cost function of the transmitting waveform design is fractional, the fractional optimization problem is first converted into a secondary optimization problem. Based on the proposed algorithm, a closed-form solution of the waveform is given using the alternating projection. At the analysis stage, in the presence of estimated errors under the environment of signal-dependent interference, a robust signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) performance is obtained using a small amount of calculation with an iterative procedure. Numerical examples verify the effectiveness of the performances of the designed waveform in terms of the SINR, beampattern and pulse compression.
