Abstract
A distributed aperture radar system, apparatus, architecture, and method are provided for generating a completed virtual array aperture by using a radar control processing unit to construct a sparse forward-backward matrix from one or more sparse measurement array vectors and to generate beamforming outputs of a completed virtual array aperture by performing forward-backward matrix completion processing of the sparse forward-backward matrix to construct a completed forward-backward matrix by filling holes in the sparse MIMO virtual array aperture to suppress spurious sidelobes caused by holes in the sparse forward-backward matrix, thereby enabling computation of one or more super resolution direction of arrival (DoA) estimation values based on the completed forward-backward matrix.
