Zhang and Dr. Shunqiao Sun were invited to give a talk in the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Webinar Series. The talk, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/yiminzhang.com\/presentation\/sps26_automotive.pdf\">Sparsity-Oriented 4D Automotive Radar Sensing: Sparse Array and Waveform Design, Processing, and Model-Based Learning<\/a>,\u201d was delivered on October 7, 2026.<br>The invitation from IEEE SPS was based on their paper, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/9429942\">4D Automotive Radar Sensing for Autonomous Vehicles: A Sparsity-Oriented Approach<\/a>\u201d, published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing (JSTSP) in June 2021. The paper was recognized as one of the Top 25 Most Downloaded JSTSP Papers during the 2024\u20132025 cycle on IEEE Xplore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks the second time the paper has received this recognition. It was previously included in the Top 25 list for the 2022\u20132023 cycle, following which Dr. Zhang and Dr. Sun were invited to give another webinar in the IEEE SPS Webinar Series, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/yiminzhang.com\/presentation\/sps23_automotive.pdf\">Redefining Radar Perception for Autonomous Driving: The Role of Sparse Array and Waveform Design in 4D Automotive Radar<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The continued interest in this paper, as demonstrated by its high number of downloads and citations, highlights the importance of the sparsity-based techniques developed in the work for automotive radar applications. On one hand, automotive radar systems are required to be compact, use a limited number of antennas, and consume low power. On the other hand, the rapid growth in the number of automotive radar systems has raised concerns about spectrum congestion, motivating the development of radar waveforms with substantially reduced time and frequency occupancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the webinar, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Sun presented recent advances in sparse array design and processing, single-snapshot and one-bit data processing, model-based learning, multi-frequency sparse arrays, sparse waveform design, and waveform sharing through integer partitioning. Collectively, these efforts aim to substantially reduce system complexity and spectrum usage while enhancing sensing performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Yimin D.
