Abstract

Source location for real aperture radar (RAR) has raised many concerns in the fields of ground-based monitoring for aircrafts and vessels. Notably, the resolution of RAR in azimuth is constrained by the antenna beam width, which results in low degree of location accuracy. In this paper, we exploit the inherent sparseness of the target distributions to formulate a superresolution methodology to locate the observed sources. Making use of a recently developed generalized sparse covariance fitting technique, we show that the resulting estimator enjoys improved resolution and higher location accuracy as compared with the RAR system and other recent superresolution algorithms.
