Relative Entropy-Based Constant-Envelope Beamforming for Target Detection in Large-Scale MIMO Radar With Low-Resoultion ADCs

Hybrid digital/analog architecture and low-resolution analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converters (ADCs /DACs) are two low-cost implementations for large-scale millimeter wave (mmWave) systems. In this paper, we investigate the problem of constant-envelope transmit beamforming for large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, where the transmit array adopts a hybrid digital/analog architecture with a small number of RF chains and the receive array adopts a fully digital architecture with low-resolution ADCs. We derive the relative entropy between the probability density functions associated with the two test hypotheses under low-resolution ADCs. We formulate our optimization problem by maximizing the relative entropy, subject to the constant envelope and orthogonality constraints. To suboptimally solve the resultant problem, a two-stage framework is developed. In the first stage, we optimize the transmit power at the directions of the target and clutter. In the second stage, an efficient iterative algorithm based on majorization-minimization is presented to obtain the constant-envelope beamformer according to the attained transmit power. Specifically, we apply a quadratic function as the minorizer, leading to a low-complexity solution at each iteration. In addition, to further facilitate low-cost implementation of the constant-envelope beamformer, we consider the problem of one-bit beamforming design and propose an efficient iterative method based on the Nesterov-like gradient method to solve it. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
