Hardware Implementation of Proposed CAMP Algorithm for Pulsed Radar

Abstract

In this paper, a proposed CAMP algorithm is suggested to reduce the complexity and the processing time imposed by the original CAMP algorithm [1]. Hardware implementation of Compressive Sensing Radar Signal Processing (CS RSP) by using the proposed Complex Approximate Message Passing (proposed CAMP) Algorithm is performed using FPGA processor. The modified CAMP algorithm combines the advantages and avoids the disadvantages of the original CAMP algorithm to achieve the maximum probability of detection, Pd, at the same time with the minimum processing time and less hardware complexity. The implemented schemes are tested experimentally and evaluated with simulated radar signal for different target and noise situations.
