Sparse Bayesian Sensing for Antenna Arrays with Per-Element Gain, Phase, and Position Errors
arXiv eess.SP0 views
arXiv:2611.07823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The sensing capabilities of 6G wireless communication systems rely on accurate models of phased-array antennas. However, hardware imperfections can introduce a mismatch between the assumed and the actual array response, leading to performance degradations. To prevent these, we propose a parametric, model-based sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) channel estimation algorithm with integrated self-calibration, which accounts for antenna-position deviations as well as gain and phase offsets. The algorithm learns channel parameters such as delay and direction-of-arrival (DoA), together with per-antenna complex weights and position deviations based on fast variational SBL with dictionary refinement. We derive a marginal-likelihood-based cost function for the antenna position update. The sensing performance is evaluated in terms of the optimal subpattern-assignment (OSPA) metric of the delay and DoA. The proposed method approaches a benchmark based on the derived hybrid Cram\'er--Rao lower bound (HCRLB) in the considered single-snapshot sensing scenarios. Finally, we investigate the influence of the detection threshold using synthetic and measurement data. On single-snapshot measurements, our algorithm reduces the position OSPA from about 6 m to 0.2 m for an appropriately chosen threshold.
