Extended Target Parameter Estimation and Tracking with an HDA Setup for ISAC Applications
We investigate radar parameter estimation and beam tracking with a hybrid digital-analog (HDA) architecture in a multi-block measurement framework using an extended target model. In the considered setup, the backscattered data signal is utilized to predict the user position in the next time slots. Specifically, a simplified maximum likelihood framework is adopted for parameter estimation, based on which a simple tracking scheme is also developed. Furthermore, the proposed framework supports adaptive transmitter beamwidth selection, whose effects on the communication performance are also studied. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework via numerical simulations over complex motion patterns that emulate a realistic integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) scenario.
