Sparse Bayesian Learning-Based Target Imaging and Parameter Estimation for Monostatic MIMO Radar Systems

This paper presents novel sparse Bayesian learning (SBL)-based target imaging and parameter estimation techniques in monostatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems for practical scenarios with insufficient observation samples and unknown target parameters. First, the SBL framework is...
