TenDSuR: Tensor-Based 4D Sub-Nyquist Radar

We propose Tensor-based 4D Sub-Nyquist Radar (TenDSuR) that samples in spectral, spatial, Doppler, and temporal domains at sub-Nyquist rates while simultaneously recovering the target's direction, Doppler velocity, and range without loss of native resolutions. We formulate the radar signal model wherein the received echo samples are represented by a partial third-order tensor. We then apply compressed sensing in the tensor domain and use our tensor-OMP and tensor completion algorithms for signal recovery. Our numerical experiments demonstrate joint estimation of all three target parameters at the same native resolutions as a conventional radar but with reduced measurements. Furthermore, tensor completion methods show enhanced performance in off-grid target recovery with respect to tensor-OMP.
