Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in developing theories and methodologies for array and signal processing for radar. However, further improvements in detection, estimation, and imaging performance have been challenging due to problems associated with increasingly complex environments, such as clutter and jamming. In this light, it is important to explore new theories, technologies, and applications.
Specifically, in large-scale multi-input and multi-output systems, the significant increase in array antenna size has brought unprecedented resolution, while also creating new requirements for mathematical tools such as signal optimization, feature analysis, and performance evaluation. With the widespread application of artificial intelligence, data-driven machine learning methods have also been introduced to the fields of sensor arrays and signal processing to overcome the performance limitations of traditional model-based methods under non-ideal conditions, offering new kinds of models and data-driven approaches. Furthermore, resource management theory is facing challenges due to shifts from ideal environments to electronically antagonised environments; shifts from the use of single resources to multiple resources; and from shifts from convex optimization to non-convex optimization. The above examples all demonstrate the active development trends and enormous application potential in the fields of array and signal processing for radar.
In order to further promote the innovative development of fundamental theories, key technologies, and applications of array and signal processing for radar, this Special Issue aims to gather the latest research progress in the field, in particular for remote sensing. Papers will include research papers and review articles discussing the latest technological achievements, and will cover subjects including, but not limited to, the following:
- Target detection, tracking and imaging;
- Direction of arrival estimation;
- Adaptive beamforming;
- Radar signal processing based on compressive sensing and sparse optimization theory;
- MIMO array signal processing;
- Tensor optimization theory and learning strategies for multidimensional signals;
- Machine learning-based radar array and signal processing;
- Radar signal classification and recognition.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
