Distributed MIMO radar is known to achieve superior sensing performance by employing widely separated antennas. However, it is challenging to implement a low-complexity distributed MIMO radar due to the complex operations at both the receivers and the fusion center. This work proposes a low-bit quantized distributed MIMO (LiQuiDMIMO) radar to significantly reduce the burden of signal acquisition and data transmission. In the LiQuiD-MIMO radar, the widely-separated receivers are restricted to operating with low-resolution ADCs and deliver the low-bit quantized data to the fusion center. At the fusion center, the induced quantization distortion is explicitly compensated via digital processing. By exploiting the inherent structure of our problem, a quantized version of the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) problem is formulated to simultaneously recover the low-rank target information matrices as well as the sparse data transmission errors. The least squares-based method is then employed to estimate the targets’ positions and velocities from the recovered target information matrices. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed LiQuiD-MIMO radar, configured with the developed algorithm, can achieve accurate target parameter estimation.
